Question

There are 6 cups of oatmeal in a box. If each serving is 1/5 of a cup, how many servings are contained in the box?

Answer 1

We have:

1 box has 6 cups

and 1 serving is 1/5 of 1 cup

Then:

Since there is 1/5 of a cup of oatmeal in a serving, this means that each of the 6cups contains 5 servings.

The total number of servings is seen to be

$5\times6=30$

as there are 6 groups of 5 servings

Answer: 30
