Answer 1

Answer:

21.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the correct question: Lois made a dish with 4 1/3 cups of pasta. One serving of the pasta is 0.2 cups. How many servings of pasta were in the dish Lois made?

Given: Lois made dish with $4\frac{1}{3}$

           One serving of pasta= 0.2 cups

Now, using unitary method to find total number of servings of pasta were in the dish Lois made.

First, lets convert $4 \frac{1}{3}$ into decimal

$\frac{4\times 3 +1}{3} = \frac{13}{3}$= 4.33 cups

∴ Lois made a dish with 4.33 cups of pasta.

We know, One serving of pasta= 0.2 cups

∴ Total serving in 4.33 cups of pasta= $\frac{4.33}{0.2}= 21.6666 \approx 21.67$

∴ 21.67 serving is possible in $4\frac{1}{3} \ cups$ of pasta.
