Answer:

24/5, or 4.8, servings

Explanation:

Let s represent the number of servings. We have:


(1)/(6) s = (4)/(5)


s = (24)/(5) = 4.8

Answer:
4(4)/(5)

Explanation:

To see how many
(1)/(6) pound servings are in
(4)/(5) of a pound of chicken we must divide
(4)/(5) by
(1)/(6)


(4)/(5)÷
(1)/(6)

When dividing by a fraction you can take the reciprocal (flip the numerator and denominator) and you can multiply instead of dividing


(4)/(5)×
(6)/(1)=
(24)/(5)=
4 (4)/(5)
