1 answer

To find out how many times Joslani needs to fill his measuring spoon, he needs to divide the amount of coloring called for in the recipe by the amount the measuring spoon holds.

5/8 รท 1/8=5/8 * 8/1=5 times

Thus, Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon 5 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe. Answer: \boxed{5}.
