Answer 1

I got 15.  I did 45/5 divided by 3/4 and got 15

Answer 2

`15\ servings\ are\ make (3)/(4)\ cup\ servings\ of\ beans\ are\ in\ 11 (1)/(4)\ cups\ of\ beans`

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

As given

`(3)/(4)\ cup\ servings\ of\ beans\ are\ in\ 11 (1)/(4)\ cups\ of\ beans.`

i.e

`(3)/(4)\ cup\ servings\ of\ beans\ are\ in\ (45)/(4)\ cups\ of\ beans.`

Than the equation becomes

`(3* x)/(4) = (45)/(4)`

`x = (45* 4)/(4* 3)`

`x = (45)/(3)`

x = 15

`Therefore\ 15\ servings\ are\ make (3)/(4)\ cup\ servings\ of\ beans\ are\ in\ 11 (1)/(4)\ cups\ of\ beans`

Option (C) is correct.
