Question

A recipe calls for 1 2/3 cups of honey. You have 7 cups of honey. If you want to make 4 servings of the recipe, do you have enough honey?

Answer 1

Yes you do have enough honey for 4 servings.

Explanation:

If you have 7 cups of honey and the recipe needs 1 and 2/3 cups per serving you can make 4 servings, and you will have a 1/3 cup of honey left over. If we break it down, we get 1(4)=4 cups of honey and 2/3(4)=8/3 or 2 and 2/3 cups of honey. If we add all the necessary honey together, 4+2+2/3 we get 6 and 2/3 of honey needed for 4 servings, and a 1/3 cup of honey left over.
