Joslani is making slime and the recipe calls for 58 teaspoon of coloring. He only has a 18 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 determine how many times Joslani needs to fill his \( \frac{1}{8} \) teaspoon measuring spoon to get a total of 58 teaspoons, we can set up the following equation:

1. Calculate how many \( \frac{1}{8} \) teaspoons are in 58 teaspoons:

\[ \text{Number of } \frac{1}{8} \text{ teaspoons} = 58 \div \left(\frac{1}{8}\right) = 58 \times 8 = 464 \]

Joslani will need to fill his \( \frac{1}{8} \) teaspoon measuring spoon 464 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe.
