Final answer:

To make full servings of bibimbap with 5 cups of rice and $rac{4}{5}$ cup per serving, you can make 6 servings.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of full servings of bibimbap that can be made, we need to divide the total cups of rice by the amount of rice per serving. Given that there are 5 cups of rice and $rac{4}{5}$ cup of rice per serving, we can set up a proportion:

5 cups of rice / $rac{4}{5}$ cup per serving = x servings

Cross multiplying, we get:
5 cups of rice * 5 / 4 = x servings

Simplifying, we find that we can make 6.25 servings of bibimbap. However, since we can't have a fraction of a serving, the number of full servings of bibimbap that can be made is 6 servings.
