Question

Emma has 6 pounds of frozen berries to use for smoothies.

If she uses 1/8
pound every day, how many days will it take her to finish all the berries?

Answer 1

To find out how many days Emma can use her 6 pounds of frozen berries at the rate of 1/8 pound per day, we can set up the following calculation:

Number of days = Total pounds of berries ÷ Pounds used per day

Number of days = 6 ÷ (1/8)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

Number of days = 6 × 8/1 = 48

Therefore, it will take Emma 48 days to finish all the berries.

The correct answer is 48.
