(1)/(5)= one of five parts. therefore, divide each cup into 5 parts then multiply 5 and 8.

5x8=40

There are 40 servings of 1/5 Cups

Using the parameters given for our Calculation;

  • Cup serving size = 1/5
  • Cups of cereal = 8

We can obtain the number of servings thus;

  • Cups of cereal / Cup serving size

Now we have ;

8 ÷ 1/5

8 × 5/1

= 40

Hence, there are 40 servings
