Question 838065
To solve this word problem, you will divide 990 by 3/2.  This will give you the total number of boxes of cereal that can be made:


{{{990/(3/2)}}} ----->


{{{990*(2/3)}}} ----->


{{{1980/3}}} ----->


660


Therefore, 660 boxes of cereal can be made from 3/2 lb boxes using 990 lbs of cereal
