Question

One serving of chad's cereal is 1 1/4 ounces. How many servins are in 15 1/3 ounces box?

Answer 1

12

change the mixed numbers to improper fractions before dividing

1
`(1)/(4)` =
`(5)/(4)` and 15
`(1)/(3)` =
`(46)/(3)`

divide contents of box by a serving

`(46)/(3)` ÷
`(5)/(4)`

change ÷ to × and turn the second fraction upside down

=
`(46)/(3)` ×
`(4)/(5)`

=
`(184)/(15)` = 12.26666 = 12 complete servings
