To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:
1. First, we need to find the total amount of spaghetti sauce available. It is given that there is 6/8 cups of spaghetti sauce.
2. Secondly, we know the serving size. One serving of spaghetti sauce is defined to be 1/3 cups.
3. We want to find out how many 1/3 cup servings can be made from 6/8 cups of spaghetti sauce. To do this, we have to divide the total amount of spaghetti sauce by the size of one serving.
4. Therefore, we take the 6/8 cups of spaghetti sauce and divide it by 1/3 cups per serving. In mathematical terms this operation looks like (6/8) / (1/3).
5. The fractional operation gets simplified to: (6/8) ÷ (1/3), which is equal to (6/8) * (3/1) as dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
6. Multiplying fractions involves multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. So, we multiply 6 by 3 and 8 by 1 to give us 18/8 = 2.25.
This implies that you can make 2.25 servings of 1/3 cups from 6/8 cups of spaghetti sauce. However, since we normally cannot have a fraction of a serving, in real life scenario, this would equate to 2 servings, with a little bit of spaghetti sauce leftover.
