Question

How many 1/8 pound servings of walnuts, s , are in 3/4 pound of walnuts?

Answer 1

1/8 s = 3/4
2/16 s = 12/16 (multiply each side by 16)
2s = 12 (divide each side by 2)
s = 6

Answer 2

6 servings.

Explanation:

We have to calculate the servings of
`(1)/(8)` pounds of walnuts in
`(3)/(4)` pounds of walnuts.

Let s be the number of servings of
`(1)/(8)` pounds of walnuts.

Then
`((1)/(8))` × s =
`(3)/(4)`

s =
`(((3)/(4) ))/(((1)/(8) ))`

=
`(3)/(4)` ×
`(8)/(1)`

s = 6

Therefore, there are 6 servings.
