Question

a large bag of cashews weighs 8 1/3 pounds. one serving is 1/3 pound. how many servigs are in the bag

Answer 1

Take the total pound and divide it with the serving size.

I converted the 8 \frac{1}{3}831 into an improper fraction which becomes \frac{25}{3}325

Divide \frac{25}{3}325 ÷ \frac{1}{3}31 which becomes:

\frac{25}{3}325 × \frac{3}{1}13 = \frac{75}{3}375 which simplifies to 25.

So there are 25 servings.

Answer 2

Take the total pound and divide it with the serving size.
I converted the
`8 (1)/(3)` into an improper fraction which becomes
`(25)/(3)`
Divide
`(25)/(3)` ÷
`(1)/(3)` which becomes:

`(25)/(3)` ×
`(3)/(1)` =
`(75)/(3)` which simplifies to 25.

So there are 25 servings.
