Smoothies

Kristin is making strawberry smoothies. She has 5 cups of yogurt; it takes 3/4 of a cup to make one smoothie. How many smoothies can she make? Write a number sentence that describes this situation. Then, draw a model to demonstrate your understanding.

Correct answer:

n =  6

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=5 \\ b=\frac{3}{4}=0.75 \\ x=a/b=5/\frac{3}{4}=5:\frac{3}{4}=5\cdot \frac{4}{3}=\frac{5\cdot 4}{3}=\frac{20}{3}\doteq 6.6667 \\ n=\lfloor x\rfloor =\lfloor 6.6667\rfloor =6 \end{gathered}$$
