Destiny will pour 12/16 gallon of juice into glasses that each hold 1/8 gallon. How many glasses will she pour?

Answer 1

To find out how many glasses Destiny will pour, we need to divide the total amount of juice (12/16 gallon) by the capacity of each glass (1/8 gallon).

( \frac{12}{16} \div \frac{1}{8} = \frac{12}{16} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{12 \times 8}{16} = \frac{96}{16} = 6 )

So, Destiny will pour 6 glasses of juice.

She will pour in #6# glasses.

It it easily noticeable that #12/16# is connected with #1/8# divide #12# by #2# and same for #16#. You get #6# over #8# i.e. #12/16=6/8# gallon of juice.

As she pours #1/8# gallon of juice in each glass, she can fill #6# glasses. :)

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
