Emma has 6 pounds of frozen strawberries if she uses 1/8 pound everyday how many days will it take to finish all the berries

To find how many days it will take Emma to finish all 6 pounds of frozen strawberries, given that she uses \( \frac{1}{8} \) pound per day, we can divide the total amount of strawberries by the amount used per day:

\[
\text{Number of days} = \frac{6 \, \text{pounds}}{\frac{1}{8} \, \text{pound/day}} = 6 \times 8 = 48 \, \text{days}
\]

So, it will take Emma **48 days** to finish all the berries.

Here are 5 related questions to think about:
1. What if Emma used \( \frac{1}{4} \) pound per day? How many days would it take then?
2. If Emma had 12 pounds of strawberries instead, how many days would it take using \( \frac{1}{8} \) pound per day?
3. How much would Emma have left after 30 days of using \( \frac{1}{8} \) pound per day?
4. If Emma uses half a pound each day, how many days would it take her to finish 6 pounds of strawberries?
5. How would the number of days change if Emma used 1/16 pound each day instead of \( \frac{1}{8} \)?

**Tip**: When dividing by fractions, remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
