Question

Mitch has 2 cups of unpopped popcorn always there uses 1/4 cup to make one bowl of popcorn how many bowls of popcorn can he make

Answer 1

Let x be number of bowl popcorn can be made.

The equation is,

$\frac{2}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{x}{1}$

Simplify the equation to obtain the value of x.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{x}{1} \\ 2\cdot4=x \\ x=8 \end{gathered}$

So 8 number of bowls of popcorn can be made from 2 cups of unpopped popcorn.
