To determine the number of servings in 9/2 cups of punch, you need to divide the total amount of punch by the size of each serving.
First, let's convert the mixed number 9/2 into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number (9) by the denominator (2) and then add the numerator (2). This gives us (9 * 2) + 2 = 20/2.
Now we can divide the total amount of punch (20/2 cups) by the size of each serving (3/5 cups). To divide fractions, we invert the divisor (the fraction we're dividing by) and multiply it by the dividend (the fraction we're dividing into).
So, we have (20/2 cups) / (3/5 cups). Inverting the divisor, this becomes (20/2 cups) * (5/3 cups).
To simplify multiplication of fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
(20 * 5) / (2 * 3) cups = 100/6 cups.
Since we're dealing with servings, we can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, both 100 and 6 can be divided by 2.
(100/2) / (6/2) cups = 50/3 cups.
Therefore, there are 50/3 servings of punch in 9/2 cups.
