need help I need to have my answer in cups:
2cups N
______ ______
7 people 46 people
I did the top part right 2x46/7=13.1428
but i need to turn it into cups...13 and ___ cups.. don't know how to change the end number to cups...
The answer is 13 1/7 (or 92/7) , and is already in units of cups.
It could also be written 6/7 gallon.
(One gallon = 16 cups)
how do u get the 1/7? i cant figure out how to get it
91/7 is 13.
92/7 is 13 with 1/7 left over.
You might also recognize that, in the decimal form, 0.1428... = 1/7
sorry still stuck.. how do you do the math to get the 1/7
0.1428 what did u do or how do u know this number is 1/7
i don't know where you got 91/7 either..can you show me how to write it on paper so i could figure it out.
92/7 = 13 remainder 1
because 13 * 7 = 91

To convert the decimal value to cups, you need to understand the conversion factor.
1 cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces.
To convert from fluid ounces to cups, you divide the number of fluid ounces by 8.
In your case, you have the decimal value 13.1428, which represents the number of cups.
To convert this into a whole number of cups, you can multiply the decimal portion by 8 to find the equivalent number of fluid ounces and then round it to the nearest whole number.
Let's do the calculation step by step:
1. Take the decimal portion of your answer, 13.1428, which represents the number of cups.
2. Multiply the decimal portion by 8 to convert it into fluid ounces: 0.1428 x 8 = 1.1424 fluid ounces.
3. To convert the 1.1424 fluid ounces to a whole number of cups, divide it by 8: 1.1424 / 8 = 0.1428 cups.
4. Round the result to the nearest whole number: 0.1428 rounds to 0 cups.
Therefore, your final answer would be 13 cups.
So, the answer to your question is 13 and 0 cups.
