Question

the matinez family purchesed a box of Frosty puffs cereal as shown below. how many 3/4 cups servings of cereal can be made from the box of cereal?

Answer 1

The question requires knowing the total volume of cereal in the box to calculate the number of 3/4 cup servings it can yield. The process involves dividing the total volume by 3/4 cup. Without the volume information, we cannot provide a numerical answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to determine how many servings of cereal can be made from a box of Frosty Puffs, with each serving being 3/4 cup. To answer this question, we need to know the total volume of cereal in the box and then divide that by the volume of each serving (3/4 cup).

However, the question does not provide the total volume of cereal in the box, so we cannot give a numerical answer. Typically, the volume would be listed on the cereal box, and assuming we had that information, we would perform the following calculation:

1. Find the total volume of the cereal box in cups (e.g., let's assume the box says 12 cups of cereal).
2. Divide the total volume by the serving size (3/4 cup).
3. For example, if the box contained 12 cups, you would calculate 12 ÷ (3/4) to find out how many 3/4 cup servings are in the box. The calculation would be 12 ÷ 0.75 = 16 servings.

Without the total volume information, we can only describe the process but not provide a final answer.

Answer 2

Divide 11 1/4 cups by (3/4)(cups/serving):

45 cups 4 servings

------------- * ------------------ = 15 servings (answer).

4 3 cups

Note that division by 3/4 is equivalent to multiplication by 4/3. This is what I did, above.
