Marco has a jug with 37 1/2 ounces of juice.  He wants to use some small cups to pass
out samples of the juice.  Each cup can hold 2 1/2 ounces of juice.  How many cups
can Marco fill with juice samples?

Divide the total volume of the juice by the volume of one of the cups.

37.5 / 2.5 = 15

Marco can fill 15 cups with the juice he has.
