Answer 2

Answer:

The number of servings in the box of cereal is:

                                   14

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Kevin has a box of cereal that contains 10 1/2 cups of cereal.

i.e. the number of cups of cereal= 21/2 cups

Also,

A serving size of the cereal is 3/4 cup.

This means that:

The number of servings in the box are:

Ratio of number of cups of cereal in box to the number of cups of cereal in one serving

which is calculated as:

$\text{Number of servings}=\dfrac{\dfrac{21}{2}}{\dfrac{3}{4}}\\\\\\\text{Number of servings}=\dfrac{21\times 4}{3\times 2}\\\\\\\text{Number of servings}=14$
