Question

Maya has 5 over 6 cup of ice cream. How many 1 over 4-cup servings are in 5 over 6 cup of ice cream? ASAP I need help

Answer 1

Find the LCD (least common denominator)

{5}/{6} and {1}/{4}

it would be 12 (6x2=12 and 4x3=12)

so you multiply {5}/{6} by 2 and get {10}/{12}

then multiply {1}/{4} by 3 and get {3}/{12}

you get 3 WHOLE servings from {5}/{6} cups of icecream
