Question

How many servings of popcorn are in 5½ cups if each person receives 3/4 cup of popcorn

Answer 1

7⅓ servings of popcorn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each person receives 3/4 cup of popcorn.

To determine how many servings of popcorn are in 5½ cups, we divide:

`5(1)/(2)/(3)/(4)`

We solve the expression above:

`\begin{gathered} =(11)/(2)/(3)/(4) \\ =(11)/(2)*(4)/(3) \\ =(44)/(6) \\ =7(2)/(6) \\ =7(1)/(3)\text{ servings} \end{gathered}`

There are 7⅓ servings of popcorn.
