Question

Jesse has a container that contains 18 3/4 cups of ice cream. How many 1/3 cup servings are in the container?

Answer 1

I believe that there are 55 1/3 cup servings with an extra 5/12.

Answer 2

The container has 18 and 3/4 cups = 75/4 cups

I serving = 1/3 cup

How many servings = 75/4 cups

Cross multiplying gives:

75/4 × 1 ÷ 1/3 = 75/4 × 3 = 225/4

Simplified gives 56 and 1/4 servings.
