Question

A nutrition label on a bag of jelly beans lists the serving size to be 1/3 of a cup.

How many servings are in a 6 cup bag of jelly beans?

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

If one serving size is 1/3 of a cup, we know that there are 3 servings in 1 cup.

Our ratio is

3 servings : 1 cup

If we now have a 6 cup bag, we simply solve for it using our ratio

3 : 1

x : 6

1*6 = 6

3*6 = 18

so, x = 18.

There are 18 servings in a 6 cup bag of jelly beans

Hope this helps!
