Answer 1

To find out how much cheese will be in each bowl, you need to divide the total amount of shredded cheese by the number of bowls.

1. Convert the mixed number, 6 1/2, to an improper fraction:

6 1/2 = 13/2

2. Divide the total amount of shredded cheese by the number of bowls:

13/2 ÷ 4 = (13/2) x (1/4) = 13/8

Therefore, there will be 13/8 cups of shredded cheese in each bowl.
