To find out how many sundaes Matt's Ice Cream Shoppe can serve with 7 cups of sprinkles, we need to divide the total amount of sprinkles by the amount of sprinkles used per sundae.
Step 1: Determine the amount of sprinkles used per sundae.
Since each sundae is served with 1/8 cup of sprinkles, the sprinkles used per sundae is 1/8 cup.
Step 2: Divide the total amount of sprinkles by the amount used per sundae.
Dividing 7 cups of sprinkles by 1/8 cup per sundae gives us:
7 ÷ (1/8) = 7 × (8/1) = 7 × 8 = 56
Therefore, Matt's Ice Cream Shoppe can serve 56 sundaes with the 7 cups of sprinkles they have.
