Question

Mrs Jones uses 1/2 pint of milk on her cereal each morning.
How many bowls of cereal will 4 pints of milk last?

Answer 1

To do this, we need to divide 4/1 by 1/2. When dividing fractions we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 

$\frac{4}{1} (multiply) \frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{8}{1} (simplify) = 8$

The answer is 8. 

Hope this helped! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me. :)

Mrs jones uses 1/4 of a pint of milk on her cereal each morning. 
How many bowls of cereal will 4 pints of milk last ? 

1/4x=4/1 
(4/1)/(1/4)=x 
x=16, therefore 16 bowls
