Answer 1

Answer:   We need to fill our measuring cup 6 times.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that making pasta requires boiling $\dfrac{15}{2}$ cups of water and our measuring cup holds $\dfrac{5}{4}$ cups of water.

We are to find the number of times we need to fill the cup.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

Number of cups in our measuring cup of water is

$\dfrac{5}{4}.$

Therefore, the number of times we need to fill the cup is given by

$n=\dfrac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{5}{4}}=\dfrac{15}{2}\times\dfrac{4}{5}=6.$

Thus, we need to fill our measuring cup 6 times.
