How many 4/3
cup servings are in 2 8/3
cups of cereal?
To find out how many 4/3 cup servings are in 2 8/3 cups of cereal, you need to divide the total amount of cereal by the serving size.
2 8/3 = (2 * 3 + 8)/3 = 6 + 8/3 = 6 2/3
So there are 6 2/3 cups of cereal in total.
Now, divide the total amount by the serving size:
(6 2/3) ÷ (4/3) = (6 * 3 + 2)/3 ÷ (4/3) = 18 + 2/3 ÷ (4/3)
To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
= 18 + 2/3 × (3/4)
= 18 + 6/12
= 18 + 1/2
= 18 1/2
Therefore, there are 18 1/2 (or 18.5) 4/3 cup servings in 2 8/3 cups of cereal.
To find out how many 4/3 cup servings are in 2 8/3 cups of cereal, we first need to convert the mixed number (2 8/3) into an improper fraction.
Step 1: Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator of the fraction (3), then add the numerator (8):
2 * 3 + 8 = 6 + 8 = 14
Step 2: Write the result (14) over the original denominator (3):
14/3
Now, to divide 14/3 by 4/3, we need to multiply the numerator (14) by the reciprocal (or inverse) of the denominator (4/3):
14/3 * 3/4
Step 3: Multiply the numerators (14 * 3) and the denominators (4 * 3) together:
14 * 3 = 42
3 * 4 = 12
So, 14/3 divided by 4/3 is equal to 42/12.
Step 4: Simplify the resulting fraction (42/12) if possible. In this case, both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 6:
42 ÷ 6 = 7
12 ÷ 6 = 2
Therefore, 42/12 simplifies to 7/2.
So, there are 7 4/3 cup servings in 2 8/3 cups of cereal.
To find out how many 4/3 cup servings are in 2 8/3 cups of cereal, we need to divide the total amount of cereal by the amount in each serving.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier calculation:
2 8/3 cups = (2 * 3 + 8)/3 cups = 14/3 cups
Now, to find the number of servings, we divide the total amount of cereal (14/3 cups) by the amount in each serving (4/3 cups):
(14/3 cups) ÷ (4/3 cups)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(14/3) * (3/4)
Cancel out common factors between the numerators and denominators:
(14/1) * (1/4) = 14/4
Now, let's simplify the fraction:
14/4 = 7/2
Therefore, there are 7/2 or 3.5 servings (since 1 serving is equal to 4/3 cups) in 2 8/3 cups of cereal.
