    She can make up to 4 smoothies.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to calculate the number of smoothies Carol can make we need to first convert the total amount of yogurt she has from a mixed number to a pure fraction, this is shown bellow:

    total amount of yogurt = 1 5/8 = 1 + 5/8

    total amount of yogurt = 8/8 + 5/8 = 13/8

    Now we can use this number and divide it by the amount of yogurt each smoothie takes. So we have:

    number of smoothies = (13/8) / (1/3)

    number of smoothies = (13/8) * (3/1) = 39/8 = 4.875 smoothies

    Since she won't make a fraction of a smoothie she can make up to 4 smoothies.
