Question

A recipe that makes 7 servings calls for 1 1/6 cups of jucie.

how many cups of jucie per serving?
a.) 1/6

b.) 1/7

c.) 7/6

d.) 6/7

Answer 1

`1 (1)/(6) = (6)/(6) + (1)/(6) = (7)/(6) \\ Basically:1 (1)/(6) = (7)/(6) \\ (7)/(6) / 7 \\ (7)/(6) / (7)/(1) \\ (7)/(6) * (1)/(7) \\ (7*1)/(6*7) \\ (7)/(42) \\ (1)/(6)`
The answer is a.) 1/6 cup
Step One: Make 1 1/6 an improper fraction
Step Two: Write equation
Step Three: Make the whole number (7) a fraction by putting it over one
Step Four: Divide 7/6 by 7/1
Step Five: Slip 7/1 for the reciprocal, 1/7
Step Six: Multiply the two fractions
Step Seven: Simplify
Hope this helps!
