Question

Kasey has 8 packages of gelatin. She plans to fill molds that each take 1 1/3 packages of gelatin. Each mold can be divided into 6 servings. How many servings of gelatin can Kasey make?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of servings of gelatin is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out the number of molds

Divide the number of packages of gelatin (8)  by 1 1/3 to obtain the number of molds

Remember that

$1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1*3+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}$

so

$\frac{8}{(4/3)}=\frac{24}{4}=6\ molds$

step 2

Find out the number of servings of gelatin

we know that

Each mold can be divided into 6 servings

To obtain the number of servings multiply the number of molds by 6

$8(6)=48$

therefore

The number of servings of gelatin is 48
