Question

There are 8 boxes of pasta on a shelf. Each serving of pasta is 1/6 of a box. How many servings of pasta are there in the boxes on the shelf?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Box=8

Serving=1/6 of 1 box

=6 servings

6 servings * 8= 48 servings

Number of servings= 48

There are 48 servings of pasta in the boxes on the shelf

Answer 2

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.
