To find out how many times Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon, he needs to divide the amount of coloring needed (5/8) by the amount his measuring spoon can hold (1/8).
5/8 รท 1/8 = 5/8 x 8/1 = 40/8 = 5
Therefore, Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon 5 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe.
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?(
