A restaurant chef made 1 1/4 pints of mushroom soup. Each bowl of soup holds 5/8 of a pint. How many bowls of soup will the chef be able to fill?

2 bowls of soup

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make 1 1/4 an improper fraction

1 1/4 = 5/4

2. Then divide 5/4 by 5/8 (KCF - Keep the 5/4 - Change the division sign to multiplication - 'Flip' 5/8 to 8/5)

5/4 x 8/5 = 40/20

3. Simplify the fraction (divide the numerator and denominator by 20)

40/20 = 2

4. Final

2 (bowls of soup)

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
