How many 1/4 cup servings of raisins are in 3/8 cup of raisins?

Answer 1

3/2 or 1 1/2

Explanation:

You can divide 3/8 by 1/4 to find your answer

3/8 / 1/4 = 3/8*4=12/8 = 3/2 or 1 1/2

Answer 2

`\bf \cfrac{3}{8}/ \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{3}{\underset{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 8 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\cdot \cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}\implies 1(1)/(2)`
