Answer would be zero (0) servings

Step by step

3/8 cookie is smaller or less than 1/2 cookie

To prove this, we need to change 1/2 cookie to same denominator of the 3/8 cookie

1/2 = multiply top and bottom by 4

1/2 = 4/8

4/8 is a serving, you only have 3/8 of a cookie which is smaller so you have 0 servings

Answer:

3/4 servings

Explanation:

Each serving = 1/2

There are 3/8 cookies.

How many times 1/2 "fits" into 3/8 = how many servings.

3/8 / 1/2

= 3/8 * 2

= 3/4 servings
