Answer 2

We need to fill the measuring cup 6 times for boiling the pasta.

Given:

Cups of water required in boiling = $7\frac{1}{2}$ cups

Size of the measuring cup = $1\frac{1}{4}$ cups

To Find:

The number of times we need to fill the  measuring cup.

Solution:

Let the number of times the measuring cup needs to be filled be 'N'

We can find the number of times the cup needs to be refilled very easily:

→ 1 measuring cup holds  $1\frac{1}{4}$ cups of water

∴ 'N' measuring cup holds: $N(1\frac{1}{4} )$ cups of water

→ Equating the number of water in 'N' measuring cups with total water required, we get:

$N(1\frac{1}{4} ) = 7\frac{1}{2}$

$N(\frac{5}{4}) =\frac{15}{2}$

$N = \frac{(15)(4)}{(5)(2)} = 6$

∴ N = 6

Hence, we need to fill the measuring cup 6 times for boiling the pasta.
