To find out how much cheese will be in each bowl, you need to divide the total amount of shredded cheese by the number of bowls.
1. Convert the mixed number, 6 1/2, to an improper fraction:
6 1/2 = 13/2
2. Divide the total amount of shredded cheese by the number of bowls:
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 the shredded cheese evenly among 4 bowls, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number 6 1/2 to an improper fraction.
6 1/2 = (6 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 13/2
Step 2: Divide the total amount of shredded cheese by the number of bowls.
13/2 ÷ 4 = 13/2 × 1/4 = 13/8
Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if necessary.
The fraction 13/8 is already in its simplest form.
Therefore, there will be 13/8 (or 1 5/8) cups of shredded cheese in each bowl.
To determine how much cheese will be in each bowl, we need to divide the total amount of shredded cheese (6 1/2 cups) by the number of bowls (4). Here are the steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
6 1/2 = (6 x 2 + 1)/2 = 13/2
Step 2: Divide the total amount of shredded cheese by the number of bowls.
13/2 ÷ 4 = 13/2 × 1/4 = 13/8
Therefore, each bowl will have 13/8 cups of shredded cheese.
