A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6

Answer 1

There are 6 tablespoons of hot cocoa powder remaining, and each serving uses 1 tablespoon. Therefore, the can contains a total of 6 servings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total number of servings of hot cocoa powder remaining in the can when a single serving consists of 1 tablespoon of the powder, and there are 6 tablespoons of powder left.

To find the total number of servings, we divide the total amount of cocoa powder by the amount used in one serving:

Servings remaining = Total cocoa powder / Amount per serving

6 tablespoons / 1 tablespoon per serving = 6 servings

Therefore, the total number of servings remaining in the can is 6.
