So she has [tex] \frac{14}{6} [/tex] cups of yogurt for making fruit parfaits, and each parfait requires [tex] \frac{2}{6} [/tex] cup of yogurt. This would imply that we would have to divide the first fraction by the second fraction to find out how many parfaits she can make.
Skip, switch, flip (I believe that's how the statement goes?) When you are dividing a fraction, you skip the first fraction, switch the division sign into a multiplication sign, and flip the second fraction so the denominator is the numerator, and the numerator is the denominator. That would make it :
[tex] \frac{14}{6} [/tex] ×[tex] \frac{6}{2} [/tex] : And 14 × 6 is 84, and 6 times 2 is 12. That would mean that we divide [tex] \frac{84}{12} [/tex].
84 divided by 12 is 7. She can make 7 parfaits.
