there are 5 cups of oat meal in a container. stella eats 1/3 cup of the oat meal every day for breakfast. in how many days will stella finish all the oat meal in the container

15 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Okey dokey so the best way to do this is to write an equation. If our total amount of oats is 5 then we will put that on one side of the equation. To find the number of days (d) it will take her to eat it we will multiply the amount eaten each day (1/3). This means our equation will look something like this:

5 = (1/3) d

To solve this we will just divide both sides by 1/3 (or multiply by 3. It doesn't really matter.

5 = (1/3) d

15=d

It will take her 15 days to eat the oats.
