A serving of rice is 1/6 of a cup. How many servings are there in a 1 1/2-cup bag of rice?
To find the number of servings in a 1 1/2-cup bag of rice, you divide the total amount of rice by the size of a serving.
1 1/2 cup is equal to (1 + 1/2) cups = 3/2 cups.
Dividing 3/2 cups by 1/6 cup/serving, we get:
(3/2) ÷ (1/6) = (3/2) × (6/1) = 9 servings.
Therefore, there are 9 servings in a 1 1/2-cup bag of rice.
