Judy made 5 loaves of bread each containing 1/4 cup of oil. There was 5/8 cup of oil left. How much did Judy start with? ( multiplication with fractions and whole numbers)
1 loaf of bread = 1/4 cup of oil.
5 loaf of bread = 5 x 1/4 cup of oil = 1 1/4 cup of oil.
There are still 5/8 cup of oil left
Therefore add them up: 1 1/4 + 5/8 = 1 2/8 + 5/8 = 1 7/8
Judy started with 1 and 7/8 cups of oil.
