To find out how many servings of Sour Patch Kids are available, we need to divide the total weight of the box by the weight of each serving.
The total weight of the box is 4/5 epsilon, and the weight of each serving is 1/15.
To divide 4/5 epsilon by 1/15, we need to multiply by the reciprocal: (4/5 epsilon) * (15/1)
The epsilons cancel out: (4/5) * 15 = 60/5 = 12
Therefore, there are 12 servings of Sour Patch Kids available. So the correct answer is 12.
To find the number of servings of Sour Patch Kids available, you need to divide the total weight of the box by the weight of each serving.
The weight of the box is given as 4/5 * epsilon a pound.
To divide this by the weight of each serving (1/15 of a pound), you need to invert the divisor and multiply.
(4/5 * epsilon) / (1/15) = (4/5 * epsilon) * (15/1)
Now you can simplify and compute the result.
(4/5 * epsilon) * (15/1) = (4/5) * (15/1) * epsilon = (4 * 15) / (5 * 1) * epsilon = 60/5 * epsilon = 12 * epsilon
So, there are 12 servings of Sour Patch Kids available.
The correct answer is:
12
