When you fill a certain amount of 2/3 cups of cereal bowl with cornflakes, you should have used the entire ceral box.
Divide 10 cups by 2/3 cups.
10 / (2 / 3)
When dividing by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction.
10 × (3 / 2) = 30 / 2 = 15
You can fill 15 2/3 cup bowls of cereal.
