Question

Marc is making bread that calls for 5 cups of flour. His measuring cup only holds 1/2 cup. How many times will Marc need to fill the measuring cup to get the 5 cups of flour?

Answer 1

Total cups of flour to be filled= 5 cups

Capacity of measuring cup = 1/2 cup

Number of times Marc need to fill the 5 cups with his measuring cup = 5 / (1/2)

$\begin{gathered} =5\text{ / }\frac{1}{2} \\ =5\text{ x }\frac{2}{1} \\ =\text{ 10 times} \end{gathered}$
