Question

Ramon has 7/8 of a cup of cottage cheese. How many 1/4 cup servings can he make?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ramon can make 3 1/2 or 3.5 servings of 1/4 of a cup each one

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What information was given to us to answer the question correctly?

Amount of cottage cheese Ramon has = 7/8 of a cup

2. How many 1/4 cup servings can he make?

For answering this question, we make this calculation:

7/8 * 1/4

7/8 * 4/1 = 28/8 = 7/2 or 3 1/2 cup servings

This means that Ramon can make 3 1/2 or 3.5 servings of 1/4 of a cup each one:

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + (1/2 * 1/4) = 7/8

3/4 + (1/2 * 1/4) = 7/8

3/4 + 1/8 = 7/8

6/8 + 1/8 = 7/8

7/8 = 7/8
