Cathy has 5 cups of peanuts to share with her family. If each family member gets 1/2 cup of peanuts, how many family members can have some?

Correct answer:

n =  10

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=5 \\ b=\frac{1}{2}=0.5 \\ n=a/b=5/\frac{1}{2}=5:\frac{1}{2}=5\cdot \frac{2}{1}=\frac{5\cdot 2}{1}=\frac{10}{1}=10 \end{gathered}$$
