How many 1/4 cups servings are in 5/8 cup?
Well, let me break that down for you. If you have 5/8 cup and you're using a 1/4 cup serving size, you just need to figure out how many times 1/4 cup goes into 5/8 cup. So, let's do some fancy fraction math. When you divide 5/8 by 1/4, you're actually multiplying by the reciprocal. Flip that fraction upside down and you get 4/1. Now, simply multiply the numerators (5 x 4) and the denominators (8 x 1) to get 20/8. But we're not done yet! We can simplify 20/8 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4, and we end up with 5/2. So, there you have it! 5/8 cup is equal to 5/2 of a 1/4 cup serving. Enjoy your puzzling fractions!
To find out how many 1/4 cup servings are in 5/8 cup, divide 5/8 by 1/4:
(5/8) ÷ (1/4)
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(5/8) × (4/1)
Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:
(5 × 4) / (8 × 1) = 20/8
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
20/8 = 2 1/2
Therefore, there are 2 1/2 (or 2 and a half) 1/4 cup servings in 5/8 cup.
To find out how many 1/4 cup servings are in 5/8 cup, we can divide the total amount (5/8 cup) by the serving size (1/4 cup).
To divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (flipped) form of the second fraction.
So, let's set up the calculation:
(5/8 cup) ÷ (1/4 cup)
To divide, we multiply by the reciprocal:
(5/8 cup) × (4/1 cup)
Now, we can simplify the fractions:
(5 × 4) / (8 × 1) = 20/8 cup
Since 20/8 is an improper fraction, we can simplify it further:
20/8 = 2 and 4/8 cup
The fraction 4/8 can be reduced to 1/2:
2 and 1/2 cup
Therefore, there are 2 and 1/2 (or 2.5) servings of 1/4 cup in 5/8 cup.
