To determine how many servings of carrots the cook has, we need to divide the total amount of sliced carrots, which is 6 cups, by the amount of carrots in each serving. However, the question does not specify the serving size.
Let's assume you want to find out how many servings of 1/2 cup carrots can be made from 6 cups.
1. Find the number of servings:
\[
\text{Number of servings} = \frac{6 \, \text{cups}}{\text{serving size}}
\]
However, without knowing what the exact serving size (denoted by "=") is, we cannot perform this calculation.
If we assume the serving size equals one of the answer choices, let's compute the total servings for each option to see how many servings would be produced.
Here are the calculations:
- A. \( \frac{6}{4 \frac{3}{8}} = \frac{6}{\frac{35}{8}} = 6 \times \frac{8}{35} = \frac{48}{35} \approx 1.37\)
- B. \( \frac{6}{4\frac{7}{8}} = \frac{6}{\frac{39}{8}} = 6 \times \frac{8}{39} = \frac{48}{39} \approx 1.23\)
- C. \( \frac{6}{5 \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{6}{\frac{16}{3}} = 6 \times \frac{3}{16} = \frac{18}{16} = \frac{9}{8} = 1.125\)
- D. \( \frac{6}{8 \frac{1}{4}} = \frac{6}{\frac{33}{4}} = 6 \times \frac{4}{33} = \frac{24}{33} \approx 0.727\)
- E. \( \frac{6}{8 \frac{2}{3}} = \frac{6}{\frac{26}{3}} = 6 \times \frac{3}{26} = \frac{18}{26} = \frac{9}{13} = 0.692\)
You can see these calculations would yield different results depending on the serving size (denoted by '='). Please clarify the serving size you want to use to determine how many servings are available from 6 cups of sliced carrots.
