Question

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

Answer 1

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 2

Find out the how many cups of raisins are in each serving.

To prove

As given

The bake star bakery uses
`2 (1)/(4)`cups of raisins to make 4 servings of trail mix.

i.e

The bake star bakery uses
`(9)/(4)`cups of raisins to make 4 servings of trail mix.

`cups\ of\ raisins\ are\ in\ each\ serving = (Total\ cups\ uses\ in\ each\ serving)/(Total\ number\ of\ serving)`

`cups\ of\ raisins\ are\ in\ each\ serving = ((9)/(4))/(4)`

`cups\ of\ raisins\ are\ in\ each\ serving = (9)/(36)`

`cups\ of\ raisins\ are\ in\ each\ serving = (1)/(4)`

Therefore the cups of raisins are in each serving are
`(1)/(4)` .
