Answer as a mixed number = 46 & 1/4
Answer as a decimal = 46.25
===============================================
Work Shown:
9 & 1/4 = 9 + 1/4 = 9 + 0.25 = 9.25
1/5 = 0.2
A bag of cashews weighs 9.25 pounds and one serving is 0.2 pounds.
Let x be the number of servings
1 serving = 0.2 pounds
x servings = 0.2x pounds after multiplying both sides by x
0.2x pounds represents the total bag's weight so,
0.2x = 9.25
x = 9.25/0.2
x = 46.25 answer in decimal form
x = 46 + 0.25
x = 46 + 1/4
x = 46 & 1/4 answer in mixed number form
This means we have 46 full servings plus an additional 1/4 of a serving.
