A serving of rice is 1/6 of a cup. How many servings are there in a 1 1/2-cup bag of rice? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
To find the number of servings in a 1 1/2-cup bag of rice, divide the total amount of rice by the amount of rice in each serving.
Total amount of rice = 1 1/2 cups = 3/2 cups
Amount of rice in each serving = 1/6 cup
Number of servings = Total amount of rice / Amount of rice in each serving
Number of servings = (3/2) / (1/6)
Number of servings = (3/2) * (6/1)
Number of servings = 18/2
Number of servings = 9
There are 9 servings in a 1 1/2-cup bag of rice.
