    Ande has 8 pints of milk. If he drinks 1/4 of a pint of milk each day, how long will the 8 pints of milk last him?

    Milk Days = Total Pints of Milk / pints drank per day
    Milk Days = 8 / 1/4

    Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal.

    The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1, so we have:
    8 * 4/1 = 32 days
