The bake star bakery uses 2 1/4 cups of raisins to make 4 servings of trail mix. How many cups of raisins are in each serving
You have to divide the number of servings by the number of cups of raisins. 4/2(1/4)=16/9 or 1.77777778
Answer
Find out the how many cups of raisins are in each serving.
To prove
As given
The bake star bakery uses \(2 \frac{1}{4}\)cups of raisins to make 4 servings of trail mix.
i.e
The bake star bakery uses \(\frac{9}{4}\)cups of raisins to make 4 servings of trail mix.
\(cups\ of\ raisins\ are\ in\ each\ serving = \frac{Total\ cups\ uses\ in\ each\ serving}{Total\ number\ of\ serving}\)
\(cups\ of\ raisins\ are\ in\ each\ serving = \frac{\frac{9}{4}}{4}\)
\(cups\ of\ raisins\ are\ in\ each\ serving = \frac{9}{36}\)
\(cups\ of\ raisins\ are\ in\ each\ serving = \frac{1}{4}\)
Therefore the cups of raisins are in each serving are \(\frac{1}{4}\) .
