How much sour cream did Mia’s dad put on each bowl of chili?
Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.
ounces
To find out how much sour cream Mia’s dad put on each bowl of chili, you can divide the total amount of sour cream by the number of bowls.
1. Total sour cream used: 7 ounces
2. Number of bowls: 5
Now, divide the total sour cream by the number of bowls:
[
text{Sour cream per bowl} = frac{7 text{ ounces}}{5 text{ bowls}} = frac{7}{5} text{ ounces}
]
So, Mia’s dad put ( frac{7}{5} ) ounces of sour cream on each bowl of chili, which can also be written as a mixed number: ( 1 frac{2}{5} ) ounces.
Answer: ( frac{7}{5} ) ounces or ( 1 frac{2}{5} ) ounces per bowl.
