Part B.
The paint recipe also calls for 1/4 cup of food coloring. Tyler says Mrs. McGlashan will also need 6cups of food coloring. Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

Answer 1

Part A: You can take a ruler and divide the 1 cup measuring cup into 4 equal parts.

Part B: I would have to disagree, because to do it you would have to take 1/4 cup and multiply it by 8 and you should end up with 2 not 6.
