Please show your work.
Thank you so much for helping. I don't get how we do this thank you for helping again

Answer 1

Assuming Tony is trying to make servings of 3/10 of a whole bar, he can only do three servings because 3 x 3 is 9 and 9/10 is the most you can do. Four servings would give you 12/10 which is more than one bar.

Answer 2

For this case, the number of services is given by the following relationship:

`n = (Total Amount)/(Partial Amount)`

Substituting values we have:

`n = ((7)/(8))/((3)/(10))`

From here, we rewrite the fraction.

We have then:

`n= (7*10)/(8*3)`

Simplifying we have:

`n= (35)/(12)`

Answer:

He can do 35/12 services
