Answer:
16 servings
Explanation:
Start with how many quarter-cups are in a cup: 4, right?
Because:
0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 1
Or:
1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1
So if there are 4 servings in a cup, and 4 cups in the bag, do you see what you have to do? Multiply:
4 servings/cup x 4 cups = 16 servings
See how "cups" cancelled out, leaving "servings," which is what we wanted.
Or from the very begining you could've just divided, since the units are the same:
4 cups ÷ 0.25 cups/serving = ?
Your calculator will tell you that's 16 servings, same as before.
Or you could visualize 0.25 as the fraction 1/4 and do it that way:
4 cups ÷ 1/4 cup/serving = ?
Do you remember how when you're dividing by a fraction you get to flip it and multiply? So:
4 cups x 4 servings/cup = 16 servings
Be sure to flip the units too, like I did there.
