Question

How many whole servings of 3/4 cups are in 3 1/2 cups of ice cream?

Answer 1

Well, what you're going to do is.. turn 3 1/2 into an irregular fraction.

3 = 6/2
we still have the initially 1/2 left so we will add that.
7/2

now we want to change it so that the denominator is equal to 4 so we multiply both top and bottom by 2

14/4

now we divide the 14 by 3 and you will get approximately 4. we will ignore the rest because it asks for whole servings and 3 only goes nicely into 14 4 times
