Question

How many 1/8 pound servings of walnuts, s , are in 3/4 pound of walnuts?

Answer 1

1/8 s = 3/4
2/16 s = 12/16 (multiply each side by 16)
2s = 12 (divide each side by 2)
s = 6

Answer 2

Answer:

6 servings.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the servings of $\frac{1}{8}$ pounds of walnuts in $\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of walnuts.

Let s be the number of servings of $\frac{1}{8}$ pounds of walnuts.

Then $(\frac{1}{8})$ × s = $\frac{3}{4}$

                  s = $\frac{(\frac{3}{4} )}{(\frac{1}{8} )}$

                     = $\frac{3}{4}$ × $\frac{8}{1}$

                  s = 6

Therefore, there are 6 servings.
