William has 8 1/4 cups of fruit juice.  If he divides the juice into 3/4 cup servings, how many servings will he have?

Answer: 11 servings

Explanation:

To get the number of servings, all we need to do is divide 8 1/4 by 3/4

converting 8 1/4 to improper fraction will yield 33/4

8 1/4 ÷ 3/4

=33/4 ÷ 3/4

= 33/4 ÷ 4/3

The 4 at the numerator will cancel the 4 at the denominator. we will be left with;

=33/3 =11

Therefore, there will be 11 servings.

8 1/4 = 33/4

33/4 / 3/4 =

33/4 * 4/3 = 132/12

132/12 = 11

he will have 11 servings
