Answer: 1 1/3 servings of pasta on the shelf.

Explanation:

All you need to do is 8*1/6 because if there are 1/6 of a serving of pasta in each box and you have 8 boxes, then you need to multiply to find the number of servings.

8*1/6=1 1/3 or 1.(3)

(3) or any other number in parentheses next to a decimal means it's a repeating decimal, and it never ends.
