Let's break it down:

Jada has 7/8 cup of cheese. Her cheese recipe calls for 1/6 of cheese, how many times can she make her recipe. Well, it's asking for how many times she can make it using the amount she has. We are going to be doing division then! So: 7/8 divided by 1/6 is 21/4! Good luck!

5 times because with common denominaters (remeber:what you do the top you always do to the bottom or what you do the bottom you do to the top) 7/8=21/24 1/6=4/24.21 divided by 4 equals 5.5 but you want a whole loaf of cheese bread not a half so you would round it to 5.
