Question

anita made 5 1/2 cups of trail mix she wants to divide it into 3/4 cups servings how many serving can she make.

Answer 1

Answer:

$7\frac{1}{3}\ servings$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many 3/4 cups servings can she make, divide the total cups of trail mix by 3/4

so

$5\frac{1}{2} :\frac{3}{4}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$5\frac{1}{2}=5+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5*2+1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}$

substitute

$\frac{11}{2} :\frac{3}{4}=\frac{44}{6}\ servings$

Simplify

$\frac{22}{3}\ servings$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{22}{3}\ servings=\frac{21}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=7\frac{1}{3}\ servings$
