To find the number of servings Jeremy could make, we need to divide the total number of ounces of crackers by the number of ounces in each serving. 42 and 1/2 ÷ 1 and 1/4 = 85/2 ÷ 5/4 = 85/2 × 4/5 = 17 × 4/5 = 68/5 = <<68/5=13.6>>13.6. This is equivalent to 13 and 3/5 servings. Since we can't have a fraction of a serving, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Jeremy could make 13 servings from the value pack.

The answer is not among the options provided.

To find the total number of servings Jeremy could make from the value pack, we need to divide the total weight of the crackers (42 and 1/2 oz) by the weight of each serving (1 and 1/4 oz).

First, let's convert the mixed number 42 and 1/2 to an improper fraction.

42 and 1/2 oz = (42 * 2 + 1) / 2 oz = 85/2 oz

Next, let's convert the mixed number 1 and 1/4 to an improper fraction.

1 and 1/4 oz = (1 * 4 + 1) / 4 oz = 5/4 oz

Now, we can divide the total weight of the crackers by the weight of each serving:

(85/2 oz) / (5/4 oz) = (85/2) * (4/5) = (85 * 4) / (2 * 5) = 340/10 = 34

Therefore, the total number of servings Jeremy could make from the value pack is 34.

The correct answer is B. 34.

To find the total number of servings Jeremy could make from the value pack, divide the total weight of the crackers by the weight of each serving.

The total weight of the crackers is 42 and 1/2 oz.

The weight of each serving is 1 and 1/4 oz.

To divide these fractions, convert them to decimals:

42 and 1/2 oz = 42.5 oz
1 and 1/4 oz = 1.25 oz

Next, divide the total weight of the crackers by the weight of each serving:

42.5 oz ÷ 1.25 oz = 34 servings

Therefore, Jeremy could make a total of 34 servings from the value pack.

The correct answer is B. 34.
