Ande has 8 pints of milk. If he drinks 1/4 of a pint of milk each day, how long will the 8 pints of milk last him?
Milk Days = Total Pints of Milk / pints drank per day
Milk Days = 8 / 1/4
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal.
The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1, so we have:
8 * 4/1 = 32 days
Milk Days = Total Pints of Milk / pints drank per day
Milk Days = 8 / 1/4
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal.
The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1, so we have:
