Final answer:
To determine the number of cocoa servings from 4 cups of chocolate mix, divide 4 cups by the serving size of 3/5 cups, resulting in 6 whole servings with a remainder, or exactly 6 and 2/3 servings.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question is: "One serving of cocoa requires 3/5 cups of chocolate mix. How many servings can be made from 4 cups of chocolate mix?"
Step-by-Step Solution:
Determine the amount of chocolate mix used per serving, which is 3/5 cups.Divide the total available chocolate mix (4 cups) by the amount needed per serving (3/5 cups).Perform the division: 4 ÷ (3/5) = 4 × (5/3) = 20/3 = 6 ⅔ or 6 and 2/3. This means you can make 6 complete servings and have some mix left over.
So, from 4 cups of chocolate mix, you can make 6 whole servings of cocoa with a remainder, or precisely 6 and 2/3 servings.
