Final answer:

To find out how many 1/8 cup servings of trail mix can be made from 3 3/4 cups, divide the total amount by the size of each serving. In this case, you can make 30 servings of trail mix.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many 1/8 cup servings of trail mix can be made from 3 3/4 cups, we need to divide the total amount of trail mix by the size of each serving.

First, let's convert 3 3/4 cups to an improper fraction. The improper fraction equivalent of 3 3/4 is (4*3 + 3)/4 = 15/4 cups.

Now, divide 15/4 by 1/8 to find how many servings can be made. We can divide fractions by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. (15/4) ÷ (1/8) = (15/4) * (8/1) = 15 * 8 / 4 = 120 / 4 = 30.
