What is one third cup multiplied by ten?

Answer 1

1/3 C x 10

Common sense tells us we will have ten 1/3 cups.

To simplify this, however, is slightly more difficult. 10/3 is an improper fraction. So, we need to see how many times three can go into ten. 1...2...3 times, right? 3x3=9.

This tells us we have 3 cups and whatever is leftover--in this case, 1/3.

The final answer is 3 1/3.
