Question

I need help to figuring out the question

Answer 1

Write out the the mixed fraction in fraction form; 

3×1+2=5

Therefore, 5/3 pounds of cereal. <-- you need to find a way to remove the denominator to make the fraction become a whole number. 

(5/3)×3=5 

Therefore, 3 servings to make sure that no cereal is left over. 

Hope I helped :) 

Answer 2

Answer is 1/12

Two ways to work this.
1) divide each of the given portions into 20 parts and add the resulting fractions.
.. (1 2/3)/20 = 1/20 + (2/3)*(1/20)
.. = 1/20 + 1/30
.. = 3/60 + 2/60
.. = 5/60 = 1/12

2) convert 1 2/3 to an improper fraction and divide by 20.
.. (1 2/3)/20 = (5/3)*(1/20)
.. = (5*1)/(3*20)
.. = 5/60 = 1/12
