mrs hay is making macaroni and cheese she has 6 1/2 cups of shredded cheese . She needs to distribute this between four bowls how much cheese will be in each bowl
To find out how much cheese will be in each bowl, you need to divide the total amount of shredded cheese, which is 6 1/2 cups, by the number of bowls, which is 4.
To simplify the calculation, convert 6 1/2 to an improper fraction:
6 1/2 = (6 * 2 + 1)/2 = 13/2
Now, divide 13/2 by 4:
(13/2) ÷ 4 = 13/2 x 1/4 = 13/8
Therefore, there will be 13/8 cups of shredded cheese in each bowl.
To distribute 6 1/2 cups of shredded cheese between four bowls, you'll need to divide the cheese equally among the bowls.
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
6 1/2 = (6 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 13/2
Step 2: Divide the total amount of cheese by the number of bowls.
(13/2) cups ÷ 4 bowls = 13/2 ÷ 4 = (13/2) * (1/4) = 13/8
Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if necessary.
13/8 is already in its simplest form.
So, there will be 13/8 cups of cheese in each bowl.
