there is 3/4 of pizza leftover from the night before . how many 1/8 portions are there
you would convert 3/4 to 6/8 and find how many times 1/8 goes into it and you would get 6.
We want to know how many 1/8's are in 3/4, so we divide.
\(\sf\dfrac{3}{4}\div\dfrac{1}{8}\)
Flip the 2nd fraction and multiply:
\(\sf\dfrac{3}{4}\times\dfrac{8}{1}\)
Multiply the numerators and denominators together:
\(\sf\dfrac{3\times8}{4\times1}\rightarrow\dfrac{24}{4}\)
Divide:
\(\boxed{\sf6}\)
