Question

mrs hay is making macaroni and cheese she has 6 1/2 cups of shredded cheese . She needs to distribute this between four bowls how much cheese will be in each bowl

Answer 1

To find out how much cheese will be in each bowl, you need to divide the total amount of shredded cheese, which is 6 1/2 cups, by the number of bowls, which is 4.

To simplify the calculation, convert 6 1/2 to an improper fraction:

6 1/2 = (6 * 2 + 1)/2 = 13/2

Now, divide 13/2 by 4:

(13/2) ÷ 4 = 13/2 x 1/4 = 13/8

Therefore, there will be 13/8 cups of shredded cheese in each bowl.
