Question

Ramon has 7/8 of a cup of cottage cheese. How many 1/4 cup servings can he make?

Answer 1

`3(1)/(2)\ 1/4\ cup\ servings`

Explanation:

we know that

To find the number of 1/4 cup servings can he make, divide the 7/8 of a cup of cottage cheese by 1/4

so

`(7/8)/(1/4)=(7*4)/8=28/8=3.5\ 1/4\ cup\ servings`

Convert to mixed number

`3.5=(7)/(2)=(6)/(2)+(1)/(2)=3(1)/(2)\ 1/4\ cup\ servings`
