Kaylee has 4 cups of sugar. She needs to divide the sugar equally into containers holding 1/3 of a cup of sugar. How many containers will Kaylee be able to fill?

Question

A 1 1/3 cups
B 12 cups
C 1/12 cup
D 3/4 cup

Answer 1

To find the number of containers Kaylee can fill, we need to divide the total amount of sugar she has (4 cups) by the amount of sugar each container can hold (1/3 cups).

4 cups ÷ 1/3 cups = (4 × 3) / 1 = 12 cups.

Thus, Kaylee will be able to fill B) 12 cups.
