A large carton of juice holds 12 cups. How many 3/4 cup servings does the carton hold?
I'm not sure how to solve it at all.
i am confused with my homework
12 / (3/4) =
12 (4/3) = 48/3 = 16
16
what is 489/8 as a whole number
what is 113/2 as a whole number
what is 505/8 as a whole number
To solve this problem, we need to determine how many 3/4 cup servings can be made from a carton that holds 12 cups of juice.
To find the answer, we can set up a proportion based on the ratio of cups to servings.
We know that 12 cups is equal to the whole carton, and we want to find out how many servings that is. Since each serving is 3/4 cup, we can set up the proportion as follows:
12 cups / 1 carton = x servings / (3/4 cup)
To find x, the number of servings, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
12 cups * (3/4 cup) = 1 carton * x servings
(12 * 3) / (4 * 1) = x servings
36 / 4 = x servings
9 = x servings
Therefore, the carton of juice holds 9 servings of 3/4 cup each.
