Question

Sharon has 8 cups of granola. She eats cup each day.

How long will her granola last?

Answer 1

She eats 2/3 of a cup.

Answer 2

8 - (number of days eating) x (cups eaten per day) = 0 left

Answer 3

so 8 equals, number of days eating times 2/3 cups each day

Answer 4

Thanks

Answer 5

you can divide 8 by 2/3 , or set up a little thing like this

8 = (2/3)*days

Answer 6

3*8 = 2days

24 = 2 days

24/2 = days

12 = days

Answer 7

That makes so much more sense!!

Answer 8

are you in algebra, or before algebra?

Answer 9

In algebra, I'm studying for a test, I'm homeschooled.

Answer 10

oh , ok, let d=days eating

total = #days x cups per day

8 = (2/3)*d

Answer 11

solve for d

Answer 12

that is what i did above. d=12 days
