Question

a box of cereal contains 7 1/2 cups of cereal . how many 1/2 cup servings are in the box of cereal? draw a picture and explain how you found your answer

Answer 1

For a drawing, you could draw a box, 7.5cm tall, and draw lines to split it every 0.5cm. This would be a visual representation of the answer.
To work out how many fit in, you need to divide the total size by the size of the servings.
7.5 / 0.5 = 15 servings
