#6# applications

Explanation:

If there is #34g# of a topical cream in a container, and each application uses about #5g# on average, to find how many applications can be made, divide #34# by #5#.

#34color(white)(i)"grams"-:(5color(white)(i)"grams")/"application"#

#=34color(white)(i)"grams"xx"application"/(5color(white)(i)"grams")#

#=34color(white)(i)color(red)cancelcolor(black)("grams")xx"application"/(5color(white)(i)color(red)cancelcolor(black)("grams"))#

#=34xx"application"/5#

#=6.8color(white)(i)"application"#

#:.#, #6# applications can be made.
