Jeremy buys a value pack of cheese crackers that contains 42 1/2 ounces of crackers. He divides this into servings of 1 1/4 ounces each. What is the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack?
?
A.8 1/2 servings
B. 34 servings
C.43 3/4 servings
D.53 servings
To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack, we need to divide the total number of ounces in the value pack (42 1/2 ounces) by the size of each serving (1 1/4 ounces).
First, we need to convert 42 1/2 ounces to a mixed number. Since there are 2 halves in a whole, we can rewrite 1/2 as 2/2. Therefore, 42 1/2 ounces is equivalent to 42 2/2 ounces. Adding the whole number part (42) and the fraction part (2/2) together, we get 44/2 ounces.
Next, we divide 44/2 ounces by 1 1/4 ounces. We can convert 1 1/4 to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number part (1) by the denominator (4) and adding the numerator (1) to get 5/4. Therefore, we divide 44/2 by 5/4.
To divide fractions, we multiply the dividend (44/2) by the reciprocal of the divisor (4/5). The reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4. Therefore, we multiply 44/2 by 5/4.
(44/2) * (5/4) = (44 * 5) / (2 * 4) = 220/8 = 27 4/8.
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 27 4/8 servings from the value pack.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Dividing both 27 and 8 by 4, we get 6 2/8.
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 6 1/4 servings from the value pack.

(44/2) * (5/4) = (44 * 5) / (2 * 4) = 220/8 = 27 1/2.
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 27 1/2 servings from the value pack.

To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack, we need to divide the total weight of the crackers by the weight of each serving.
The total weight of the crackers is 42 1/2 ounces.
The weight of each serving is 1 1/4 ounces.
To divide these fractions, we can convert them to decimal form.
42 1/2 ounces is equal to 42.5 ounces.
1 1/4 ounces is equal to 1.25 ounces.
Now, we can divide 42.5 ounces by 1.25 ounces:
42.5 / 1.25 = 34
Therefore, the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack is 34 servings.
So, the correct answer is B. 34 servings.
To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack of cheese crackers, we need to divide the total number of ounces in the pack by the size of each serving.
The value pack contains 42 1/2 ounces of crackers. We need to convert this mixed number to an improper fraction or a decimal.
To convert 1/2 to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (42) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1). So, 42 1/2 can be written as (42 × 2 + 1) / 2 = 85/2.
Therefore, the value pack of cheese crackers contains 85/2 ounces.
Now, we need to divide the total number of ounces (85/2) by the size of each serving (1 1/4 ounces).
To convert 1 1/4 to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (4) and add the numerator (1). So, 1 1/4 can be written as (1 × 4 + 1) / 4 = 5/4.
Now, we can divide 85/2 by 5/4 to find the number of servings.
Dividing fractions involves multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, we can multiply 85/2 by the reciprocal of 5/4, which is 4/5.
(85/2) × (4/5) = (85 × 4) / (2 × 5) = 340/10 = 34.
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 34 servings from the value pack of cheese crackers.
The correct answer is B. 34 servings.
