And I made three bowls of chili for dinner before serving them Anna is going to top each bowl with an equal amount of cheese she has 1/4 of a cup of cheese how many cups of cheese does she put in each bowl

To find out how much cheese Anna puts in each bowl, you can divide the total amount of cheese by the number of bowls.

She has \( \frac{1}{4} \) cup of cheese and there are 3 bowls:

\[
\text{Amount of cheese per bowl} = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{3} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{12} \text{ cup}
\]

So, Anna puts \( \frac{1}{12} \) cup of cheese in each bowl.

If you have any questions or want further details, feel free to ask! Here are some related questions to consider:

1. How much total cheese would be needed if she made 5 bowls instead?
2. If Anna had \( \frac{1}{2} \) cup of cheese, how much would each bowl get for 3 bowls?
3. What if Anna wanted to use 2 cups of cheese instead; how much would each bowl get?
4. How many bowls could she fill if she had \( 1 \) cup of cheese?
5. If Anna topped each bowl with \( \frac{1}{8} \) cup of cheese instead, how much cheese would she need for 3 bowls?
