Question

Plzzzzz Help!! Will recieve brainliest if more than 1 person answer.

A chef prepared 7/8 pound of pasta. How many 1/4 pound servings are in 7/8 pound of pasta?

Answer 1

Rounding the answer it would be 3!

Answer 2

Hi!

To solve this, we need to divide the fractions. 

When dividing fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal is a flipped fraction. So the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1.

$\frac{7}{8} * \frac{4}{1}$
$\frac{28}{8}$

$\frac{28}{8}$ can be simplified to

$\frac{7}{2}$,
$3 \frac{1}{2}$,
or 3.5.

Hope this helps! :)
