Ms. Chloe has 5 cups of popcorn, which she is serving as a snack to a group of children. Each serving is 1 4 of a cup. How many children can get a serving of popcorn as a snack?

Answer 1

To find the number of children you can feed, just divide the total amount by your serving size.

5 cups / (1/4 cup) = ?

Remember: When divide by a fraction, we flip the fraction and multiply.

5 cups / (1/4 cup) = 5 x 4 = ?

Multiply and that will give you the number of students able to be served.
