To determine how many milkshakes you can make, you can divide the total amount of sugar you have by the amount needed for one milkshake.
You have 6 cups of sugar and need 1/3 cup of sugar per milkshake:
1. Convert 6 cups to a fraction: ( 6 text{ cups} = frac{6}{1} ).
2. To find out how many milkshakes you can make, divide 6 cups by 1/3 cup:
[
6 div frac{1}{3} = 6 times 3 = 18.
]
So, you can make 18 milkshakes!
Great job on working through the math! If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
