Marco has a jug with $$37\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$$ ounces of juice. He wants to use some small cups to pass out samples of the juice.
Each cup can hold  $$2\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$$  ounces of juice. How many cups can Marco fill with juice samples?

a. $$\frac{ 1 }{ 15 }$$ cup b. 15 cups
c. $$18\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$$ cups 
d. $$93\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }$$ cups

I got 15. because i made them both into an improper fraction, divide ( reciprocal ) and simplified and got 15 over 1 but i am still unsure.

Yay thank you! My i was kind of unsure in this one but i just wanted to check to know if it was right.

Your method was 100% correct but another one you could use when you have simple fractions that I find to be faster is changing the fractions into decimals and dividing.  

Ex using the problem

37.5/2.5
(I multiplied them by ten)
375/25
That's a whole number which automatically makes it B, but it's also pretty simple division.
