Question

There are 8 boxes of pasta on a shelf. Each serving of pasta is 1/6 of a box.

How many servings of pasta are there in the boxes on the shelf?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

To determine how many servings of pasta are in the 8 boxes, we first need to understand how many servings are in one box. Since each serving is \( \frac{1}{6} \) of a box, the number of servings in one box can be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Number of servings in one box} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{6}} = 6
\]

This means each box contains 6 servings of pasta.

Now, if there are 8 boxes, we can calculate the total number of servings by multiplying the number of servings in one box by the total number of boxes:

\[
\text{Total servings} = \text{Number of boxes} \times \text{Servings per box} = 8 \times 6 = 48
\]

Thus, there are \( \boxed{48} \) servings of pasta in the 8 boxes on the shelf.
