Joslani is making slime and the recipe calls for 5/8 teaspoon of coloring. He only has a 1/8 measuring tool available. How many times will he need to fill his measuring spoon to have enough coloring to follow the recipe?

Answer 1

To find how many times Joslani needs to fill his measuring spoon, we need to divide the total amount of coloring needed by the amount the spoon can hold.

5/8 / 1/8 = (5/8) * (8/1) = 40/8 = <<(5/8)/(1/8)=5>>5

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