Julia measures water with a 1/4 cup measuring cup. She fills the cup 7 times and pours 1/4 of a cup pf water into a bowl. How much water does Julia pour into the bowl?
I am not sure how to do this. Do I multiply 7 and 1/4?
idk lol
well, you said she pours 1/4 c of water into the bowl.
You don't say what she does with the 7 cupfuls she filled.
But, yes, the total water in 7 cupfuls would be 7 * 1/4 c
Well, Julia fills the 1/4 cup measuring cup 7 times, so we do multiply 7 by 1/4. But if we want to do this in a more fun way, we can say that Julia is filling her cup like a pro juggler!
So, let's say Julia is juggling her 1/4 cup measuring cup. She fills it up once without spilling any water. That's 1/4 cup in her juggling routine! Then, with perfect juggling skills, she repeats this act 7 times. Each time she pours 1/4 cup of water into her bowl.
So, in total, Julia pours 7/4 (or 1 3/4) cups of water into the bowl. That's a lot of juggling and pouring! Keep up the good work, Julia!
Yes, to find out how much water Julia pours into the bowl, you would multiply the number of times she fills the cup (7) by the amount of water she pours each time (1/4 cup).
To multiply a whole number by a fraction, you can simply multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction and keep the denominator the same. So in this case, you would multiply 7 by 1/4:
7 * 1/4 = 7/1 * 1/4 = 7/4
Therefore, Julia pours 7/4 cups of water into the bowl.
Yes, you can multiply 7 by 1/4 to find out how much water Julia pours into the bowl. To multiply a whole number by a fraction, you multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction and keep the denominator the same.
Here's how you can calculate it step by step:
1. Multiply the whole number (7) by the numerator of the fraction (1).
7 x 1 = 7
2. Keep the denominator (4) the same.
The result is 7/4. However, we can simplify this fraction.
3. Since 7 is not divisible by 4, we cannot reduce the fraction.
So, Julia pours 7/4 cup of water into the bowl.
