anonymous · Answer

What are you not understanding?

ms-brains · Answer

How to solve it..?

directrix · Answer

How many eighths are in in one-half is what I am seeing.

anonymous · Answer

Notice how the 1/2 box is split into components so that each component is = 1/8?

anonymous · Answer

It's exactly as @Directrix says, it's asking for the equation where you would somehow get 4  1/8 components when you split the 1/2 somehow

anonymous · Answer

I believe it's asking for how many 1/8ths are in 1/2, so it's a division problem

ms-brains · Answer

So what answer are you thinking? @jaeuni

anonymous · Answer

lol what answer do you have in mind and I'll let you know if I agree

ms-brains · Answer

B, like @Directrix  said.

anonymous · Answer

And that's because?

directrix · Answer

1/2 /  1/8 = 1/2 * 8/1 = 8/2 = 4.

That translates to: There are four eighths in one-half.

@Lily2913  What are you thinking about this problem?

anonymous · Answer

lol @Directrix beat you to it

I agree that it's B as well since like @Directrix states, the problem asks about how many eighths can go into 1/2 and you can find that out by division

anonymous · Answer

I agree with both of you. B

ms-brains · Answer

What about this one

anonymous · Answer

If she uses 1/4th cup of sugar and she used up 8 cups of sugar...how many 1/4ths go into 8?

anonymous · Answer

It's parallel to you earlier problem when we were looking at how many 1/8ths go into 1/2

anonymous · Answer

*your

ms-brains · Answer

@Directrix  What do you think?

directrix · Answer

1/4 cup        1 batch

1 cup             4 batches

8 cups           32 batches

directrix · Answer

8 divided by 1/4 = 8 * 4/1 = 32

ms-brains · Answer

So 32 is correct?

directrix · Answer

I think so. What about you @Ms-Brains

ms-brains · Answer

I'm think 32 is correct. I'll post a new thread with a new problem
