Answer 1

21.67.

Explanation:

Here is the correct question: Lois made a dish with 4 1/3 cups of pasta. One serving of the pasta is 0.2 cups. How many servings of pasta were in the dish Lois made?

Given: Lois made dish with
`4(1)/(3)`

One serving of pasta= 0.2 cups

Now, using unitary method to find total number of servings of pasta were in the dish Lois made.

First, lets convert
`4 (1)/(3)` into decimal

`(4* 3 +1)/(3) = (13)/(3)`= 4.33 cups

∴ Lois made a dish with 4.33 cups of pasta.

We know, One serving of pasta= 0.2 cups

∴ Total serving in 4.33 cups of pasta=
`(4.33)/(0.2)= 21.6666 \approx 21.67`

∴ 21.67 serving is possible in
`4(1)/(3) \ cups` of pasta.
