To solve this problem you must follow the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following information given in the problem above:
- Marta is making 3 servings of fruit salad.
- Marta adds 3/8 cups blueberries for each serving.
- Her measuring cup holds 1/8 cup.
2. Then, you have:
1 time----1/8 cup
x----3/8 cups
x=(3/8)/(1/8)
x= 3x8/1x8
x=24/8
x=3 times
How many times must Marta measure 1/8 cup of blueberry to have enough for the fruit salad?
The answer is: 3 times
