Joslani is making slime and the recipe calls for 5/8 teaspoon of coloring. He only has a 1/8 measuring tool available. How many times will he need to fill his measuring spoon to have enough coloring to follow the recipe?(
To find out how many times Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon, he needs to divide the amount of coloring needed (5/8) by the amount his measuring spoon can hold (1/8).
5/8 ÷ 1/8 = 5/8 x 8/1 = 40/8 = 5
Therefore, Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon 5 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe.
