Question

Diana made a recipe that yields 6 and 1 over 2 cups. If each serving is 1 over 4 cup, which expression will help Diana determine the number of servings her recipe will yield? 6 and 1 over 2 ⋅ 1 over 4 6 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 4 6 and 1 over 2 + 1 over 4 6 and 1 over 2 − 1 over 4

Answer 1

six and a half divided by one over four

Answer 2

6 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 4

Explanation:

Given,

The total cups in a recipe = 6 and 1 over 2 cups

`=6(1)/(2)\text{ cups}`

Also, the cups in each serving = 1 over 4 cup

`=(1)/(4)\text{ cups}`

Hence, the number of servings =
`\frac{\text{total cups in a recipe}}{\text{cups in each serving}}`

`=(6(1)/(2))/((1)/(4))`

= 6 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 4

Second option is correct.
