To determine how many bowls of cereal Kathy can have, we need to consider the amount of milk she has and the amount required per bowl.
1. Kathy uses 1 cup of milk for each bowl of cereal.
2. Kathy has 3 cups of milk available.
Since each bowl requires exactly 1 cup of milk, we need to divide the total amount of milk by the amount used for one bowl:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of bowls Kathy can have} = \frac{\text{Total amount of milk}}{\text{Milk required per bowl}} \][/tex]
Given:
- Total amount of milk = 3 cups
- Milk required per bowl = 1 cup
[tex]\[ \text{Number of bowls Kathy can have} = \frac{3}{1} = 3 \][/tex]
Therefore, Kathy can have 3 bowls of cereal.
