Question

Hugh made a recipe that yields 8 and 1 over 2 cups. If each serving is 1 over 4 cup, which expression will help Hugh determine the number of servings his recipe will yield? 8 and 1 over 2 ⋅ 1 over 4 8 and 1 over 2 + 1 over 4 8 and 1 over 2 − 1 over 4 8 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 4

Answer 1

A recipe yields = 8(1/2) cups.

And,

Each serving = (1/4) cups.

Therefore,

The number of servings his recipe will yield = (Total recipe yields) ÷ (Each serving) = 8(1/2) ÷ (1/4) = 8 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 4 (Option D).
