Mrs. Jones is cooping 4 1/2 cups o peanuts with a scoop that holds 1/3 cups. How many times will she need to refill?

Answer 1

To find out how many times Mrs. Jones will need to refill, we need to divide the total number of cups of peanuts she is scooping by the amount of peanuts she can scoop each time.
Mrs. Jones is scooping 4 1/2 cups, which is the same as 4 + 1/2 = <<4+1/2=4.5>>4.5 cups.
The scoop holds 1/3 cup, so we divide 4.5 by 1/3: 4.5 / 1/3 = 4.5 * 3 = 13.5.
Mrs. Jones will need to refill the scoop 13.5 times. However, she can only refill a whole number of times, so she will need to refill the scoop 14 times. Answer: \boxed{14}.
