how many 1/8 pound servings of walnuts, s , are in 3/4 pound of walnuts?
1/8 s = 3/4
2/16 s = 12/16 (multiply each side by 16)
2s = 12 (divide each side by 2)
s = 6
Answer:
6 servings.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the servings of \(\frac{1}{8}\) pounds of walnuts in \(\frac{3}{4}\) pounds of walnuts.
Let s be the number of servings of \(\frac{1}{8}\) pounds of walnuts.
Then \((\frac{1}{8})\) × s = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
s = \(\frac{(\frac{3}{4} )}{(\frac{1}{8} )}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) × \(\frac{8}{1}\)
s = 6
Therefore, there are 6 servings.
