  • Weight of strawberries=11/12pound
  • Weight of one serving=1/4pound

No of servings =Total strawberries weight/Per servings weight


\\ \sf\longmapsto (11)/(12)/ (1)/(4)


\\ \sf\longmapsto (11)/(12)* (4)/(1)


\\ \sf\longmapsto (11(4))/(12)


\\ \sf\longmapsto (44)/(12)


\\ \sf\longmapsto (11)/(3)

  • There are total 11/3servings

Answer:

3 2/3 servings

Explanation:

Take the total amount of strawberries and divide by the number of strawberries in a serving.

11/12÷ 1/4

Copy dot flip

11/12 * 4/1

Rewriting

11/1 * 4/12

11/1 *1/3

11/3

Changing to a mixed number

3 2/3 servings
