Ana drinks chocolate milk out of glasses that each hold \dfrac18 8 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 8, end fraction of a liter. She has \dfrac34 4 3 start fraction, 3, divided by, 4, end fraction of a liter of chocolate milk in her refrigerator. How many glasses of chocolate milk can she pour?
Question
Answer:
Let's examine the problem carefully.You are given that each glass can contain 1/8 of a liter and that you have 3/4 of a liter of chocolate milk that is to be distributed to these glasses. When you analyze it you'll see that you are just asked to divide your chocolate milk to the glasses, pouring each one to the brim (1/8 liter), and counting how many glasses you've filled.
Through basic division of fractions we'll get:
[tex] \frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{8} } = \frac{3}{4}* \frac{8}{1} =6[/tex]
ANSWER: Anna can therefore pour chocolate milk into 6 glasses.
