PLS HELP MEEEEEEE 12 Servings Are In A Box Of Oatmeal That Contains6 34 Cups Of Oatmeal class=

Sagot :

Answer: B) 13 & 1/2

========================================================

Explanation:

There are a few ways to approach this problem. It might be easiest to convert all the fractions to decimal form

1/2 = 0.5

3/4 = 0.75

6 & 3/4 = 6 + 3/4 = 6 + 0.75 = 6.75

The problem is rephrased as: "How many 0.5 cup servings in a box of oatmeal that contains 6.75 cups of oatmeal?"

To find out, we divide the two values (large over small) to get 6.75/0.5 = 13.5

Then convert back to a mixed number:

13.5 = 13 + 0.5 = 13 + 1/2 = 13 & 1/2

--------------------

Side note: The reason why we divide is due to this

x = number of servings

0.5x = total number of cups = 6.75

So we're effectively solving the equation 0.5x = 6.75, in which we divide both sides by 0.5
