Question

Maya has 5/6 cup of ice cream. how many 1/4 cup servings are in 5/6 cup of ice cream

Answer 1

Find the LCD (least common denominator)

`(5)/(6) and (1)/(4)`

it would be 12 (6x2=12 and 4x3=12)

so you multiply
`(5)/(6)` by 2 and get
`(10)/(12)`
then multiply
`(1)/(4)` by 3 and get
`(3)/(12)`

you get 3 WHOLE servings from
`(5)/(6)` cups of icecream
