Question

Luca had a large container of yogurt with 1 5/8 pounds of yogurt left in it. If a serving of yogurt is 3/8 of a pound, to the nearest whole serving, how many servings of yogurt are in the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 4 serving in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total quantity of yogurt in the container = $1\frac{5}{8}\text{ pounds}=\frac{13}{8}\text{ pounds}$        

Also, a serving of yogurt is 3/8 of a pound,

Thus,

$\text{Total number of serving}=\frac{\text{Total yogurt}}{\text{Quantity of each serving}}$

$=\frac{13/8}{3/8}$

$=\frac{13}{3}$

$\approx 4$

Hence, there are 4 serving in the container.

Answer 2

There are 4 and 1/3 servings of yogurt in the container.
