Answer 1

He will be able to eat 16 serving from the box that has 12 cups of cereal in it

Step-by-step explanation:

Charlie likes to eat 3/4 cup of cereal each morning for breakfast

We need to find how many servings he will be able to eat from a box

that has 12 cups of cereal in it

To solve the problem

• Divide the number of cubs in the box by the quantity he like to eat
• If the divisor in the division problem is a fraction we change the division to multiplication and reciprocal the divisor

∵ There are 12 cups in the box

∵ Charlie likes to eat $\frac{3}{4}$ cup

- Divide the number of the cups in the box by $\frac{3}{4}$

∴ The number of serving = 12 ÷ $\frac{3}{4}$

Change the division sign to multiplication sign and reciprocal $\frac{3}{4}$

∵ The reciprocal of $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$

∴ The number of serving = 12 ×  $\frac{4}{3}$

∴ The number of serving = $\frac{48}{3}$

∴ The number of serving = 16

He will be able to eat 16 serving from the box that has 12 cups of cereal in it
