You have 7/8 of sour cream to make tacos if each tacos requires 1/16 cup of sour cream how many tacos can you make

We need to find how many times 1/16 goes into 7/8. So, divide 7/8 by 1/16:
(7/8) / (1/16)
= (7/8) x (16/1)
= (7/8) x 16
= 7 x 16 / 8
= 7 x 2
= 14
The answer is 14.

(Intuitively, since 1/16 goes into 1/8 two times, it goes into 7/8 fourteen times.)
