The blackberry cobbler recipe makes 8 equal servings. Nina, Jack, and Cameron each ate 1/4 of the servings. How many servings of cobbler were left over?
3 * 1/4 = 3/4
4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4
1/4 * 8 = 2
Why do I have to times 1/4 by 8?
There were eight servings
There are 9 bottles of juice. A serving of juice is 1/3 of a bottle. How many servings can you have out of the 9 bottles?
To solve this problem, we can start by finding out how many servings of cobbler each person ate. We are given that Nina, Jack, and Cameron each ate 1/4 of the servings. Since the recipe makes 8 equal servings, we can find out how many servings each person ate by multiplying 1/4 by 8.
To calculate 1/4 of 8, we can divide 8 by 4:
8 ÷ 4 = 2
Therefore, each person ate 2 servings of cobbler.
Now, to find out how many servings of cobbler were left over, we need to subtract the number of servings each person ate from the total number of servings:
Total servings - Servings each person ate
8 - (2 + 2 + 2) = 8 - 6 = 2
So, there were 2 servings of cobbler left over.
