To find out how many student servings of 3/4 of an apple can be made from 21 2 apples, we need to divide the total number of apples by 3/4.
First, we need to convert 21 2 apples to the fraction form. Since there are 2 halves in a whole, we can represent 21 2 as 21 + 1/2, which is equal to (21*2 + 1)/2 = 43/2.
To divide 43/2 by 3/4, we multiply the fraction by its reciprocal: (43/2) * (4/3) = (43*4) / (2*3) = 172/6.
Thus, from 21 2 apples, we can make 172/6 student servings of 3/4 of an apple.
