Answer:
Celia make [tex]5\frac{1 }{4}[/tex] servings.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Celia made 3 1/2 cups of rice.
A serving of rice is 2/3 cup.
Now, to find the number of servings Celia make.
Celia made [tex]3\frac{1}{2} =\frac{7}{2}\ cups.[/tex]
So, to get the number of servings we use unitary method:
If 2/3 cup of rice is of 1 serving.
So, 1 cup of rice is of = [tex]1\div\frac{2}{3}servings.[/tex]=[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Then 7/2 cup of rice is of [tex]=\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{21}{4}=5\frac{1}{4}.[/tex]
Thus, 7/2 cup of rice is of [tex]5\frac{1 }{4}[/tex] servings.
Therefore, Celia make [tex]5\frac{1 }{4}[/tex] servings.
Ceila made 5.25 or 5 ¹/₄ servings of rice.
Ceila made 3 1/2 cups of rice. In improper fractions this is:
3 1 /2 = 7/2
The number of servings made by Ceila can be found by:
= Number of cups of rice Ceila made / Cups of rice in a serving
= 7 / 2 ÷ 2/3
= 7/2 × 3/2
= 21 / 4
= 5.25 servings
When dividing fractions, you can instead multiply the first fraction by the inverse of the second fraction.
In conclusion, Ceila made 5.25 or 5 ¹/₄ servings of rice.
