Question

The container of orange juice held 5 1/3 cups of juice. If a serving of orange juice is 7/8 of a cup of orange juice, to the nearest whole serving, how many servings were in the container?

Answer 1

(5 1/3) ÷ (7/8) = (16/3)×(8/7) = 128/21 = 6 2/21

To the nearest whole serving, there were 6 servings in the container.

Answer 2

Answer: 6

Explanation:

Given : The number of cups of orange juice in container=
`5(1)/(3)`

=
`(16)/(3)`

A serving of orange juice =
`(7)/(8)\text{ cup}`

Now, the number of serving by the given container will be :-

`(16)/(3)/(7)/(8)\\\\=(16)/(3)*(8)/(7)\\\\=6.09523809524\approx6`

Hence, the number of serving by the given container = 6
