Jeremy has 4 1/2 cups of iced tea. He wants to divide the tea into 3/4 cup servings. use the model to find the number of servings he can make. Please help answer question. thanks would it be 9/2 multiplied by 4/3
Correct.
18/4(3/4)=18x4(4x3)=72/12=6 portions of 3/4 cups each.
Thanks this helps alot. I am learning this in advanced 6th grade math and my teacher is strict on checking our work (so we get 100's)
Thank
To find the number of servings Jeremy can make, we need to divide the total amount of iced tea (4 1/2 cups) by the serving size (3/4 cup).
First, let's convert 4 1/2 cups to a mixed number.
To do this, we multiply the whole number part (4) by the denominator of the fraction (2) and then add the numerator (1).
4 x 2 + 1 = 9
So, 4 1/2 cups is equal to 9/2 cups.
Next, we divide 9/2 cups by 3/4 cup to find the number of servings Jeremy can make.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, 9/2 * (4/3) = (9 * 4) / (2 * 3) = 36/6
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 6.
36/6 = (6 * 6) / 6 = 6
Therefore, Jeremy can make 6 servings of iced tea.
