Question 334448
The problem is asking "What is left over after
I divide 45 by 2 2/3 as many times as I can?"
2 2/3 = {{{8/3}}}
{{{45/(8/3) = (3/8)*45}}}
{{{(3/8)*45 = 16.875}}}
This is telling me that 2 2/3 cups goes into 45 cups
16 times with .875 left over. What fraction is .875?
{{{875/1000 = 35/40}}} (divide top and bottom by {{{25}}})
{{{35/40 = 7/8}}} (divide top and bottom by {{{5}}})
There is 7/8 of a cup left over
