Question

A box contains 7/2 cups of fruit juice. One serving size is 1/2 cup. How many servings can be made from the fruit juice?
5 servings
3 servings
7 servings
2 servings

Answer 1

To determine how many servings can be made from 7/2 cups of fruit juice when one serving size is 1/2 cup, you can divide the total amount of juice by the serving size.

So, perform the division:

\[
\text{Number of servings} = \frac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}
\]

When you divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor:

\[
\frac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{7 \times 2}{2 \times 1} = \frac{14}{2} = 7
\]

Therefore, you can make 7 servings from the fruit juice.

The correct answer is **7 servings**.
