How many servings can Stephen make?

Answer 1

`13(3)/(4)$ servings`

Explanation:

Stephen uses
`(2)/(25)` kilograms of tofu in each serving of his dish.

He has
`1(1)/(10)` kilograms of tofu.

We want to determine how many servings Stephen can make.

To do this, we divide the total weight of tofu by the weight per serving.

`\frac{\text{Total Weight(in kg)}}{\text{Weight(kg) per serving}} =(1(1)/(10))/( (2)/(25))\\ = (11)/(10)/ (2)/(25)\\\\= (11)/(10)X (25)/(2)\\\\= (11X25)/(10X2)\\\\= (275)/(20)\\\\=13(3)/(4)$ servings`

Stephen can make
`13(3)/(4)$ servings` .
