Question

Each serving for a box of trail mix is 3/8 of a cup.

Enter the number of 3/8 -cup servings there are in 1 1/2 cups of trail mix.

Answer 1

It's 4

Explanation:

It asks how many 3/8 cups are in 1 1/2 cups. So, we divide.

1 1/2 ÷ 3/8. We have to change the 1 1/2 into a improper fraction. 1 1/2 = 3/2. 3/2 ÷ 3/8 = 3/2 ÷ 8/3 = 24/6. Simplify, and you get 4. :)
