Answer 1

She can make 6 servings.

Answer 2

Answer:  The required number of servings she can make is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jean needs $\dfrac{1}{3}$ cup of walnuts for each serving of salad she makes. She has two cups of walnuts.

We are to find the number of servings she can make.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

Number of servings made by $\dfrac{1}{3}$ cups of walnuts = 1.

So, the numbers made by 1 cup of walnuts will be

$\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=3.$

Therefore, the number of servings made by 2 cups of walnuts is given by

$2\times3=6.$

Thus, the required number of servings she can make is 6.
