Question

anita made 5 1/2 cups of trail mix she wants to divide it into 3/4 cups servings how many serving can she make.

Answer 1

`7(1)/(3)\ servings`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out how many 3/4 cups servings can she make, divide the total cups of trail mix by 3/4

so

`5(1)/(2) :(3)/(4)`

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

`5(1)/(2)=5+(1)/(2)=(5*2+1)/(2)=(11)/(2)`

substitute

`(11)/(2) :(3)/(4)=(44)/(6)\ servings`

Simplify

`(22)/(3)\ servings`

Convert to mixed number

`(22)/(3)\ servings=(21)/(3)+(1)/(3)=7(1)/(3)\ servings`
