Talib's bird feeder holds 1/2 of a cup of birdseed. talib is filling the bird feeder with a scoop that holds 1/16 of a cup. how many scoops of birdseed will talib put into the feeder?

Number of scoops = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Talib's bird feeder can hold 1/2 cup of birdseed

Talib wants to fill this 1/2 cup of birdseed with a scoop that holds 1/16 of a cup.

here we can say ,

Volume of bird feeder = 1/2 cup of birdseed

Volume of scoop =1/16 cup of birdseed

So, number of scoops required to fill birdseed will be given by:

Number of scoops = Volume of bird feeder / volume of scoop

Number of scoops = 1/2 cup / 1/16 cup  = (1/2) / (1/16 )  

Number of scoops = (1/2) * (16/1)  = 8

Hence number of scoops required is 8.

the first option is the answer.
