Answer: 25.6 servings (partial serving) / 25 servings (whole serving)

Explanation:

Concepts:

As we can see from the question, there are two units applied. [Quarts] and [cups]; therefore, we need to do the unit conversion.

1 quart = 4 cups

Solve:

Step one: Convert quarts into cups

  • 1 quart = 4 cups
  • 8 quarts = 4 × 8 = 32 cups

Step two: Divide the cups to find the number of servings

  • 32 cups / 1.25 cups = 25.6 servings

**Disclaimer** I am not sure about the rules that you apply in mathematics. Here, the answer is not an integer. I am concerned whether you would allow partial servings. In my understanding, the servings shall be a whole, thus should be rounded. However, if you are fine with decimals, then you have the choice.

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
