Answer:

The number of servings in the box of cereal is:

14

Explanation:

It is given that:

Kevin has a box of cereal that contains 10 1/2 cups of cereal.

i.e. the number of cups of cereal= 21/2 cups

Also,

A serving size of the cereal is 3/4 cup.

This means that:

The number of servings in the box are:

Ratio of number of cups of cereal in box to the number of cups of cereal in one serving

which is calculated as:


\text{Number of servings}=((21)/(2))/((3)/(4))\\\\\\\text{Number of servings}=(21* 4)/(3* 2)\\\\\\\text{Number of servings}=14
