To find out how many servings of Sour Patch Kids are available in a box weighing \( \frac{4}{5} \) of a pound, with each serving containing \( \frac{1}{15} \) of a pound, we can use the following calculation:
-
Determine the total weight of the box:
- The box weighs \( \frac{4}{5} \) pound.
-
Determine the weight of each serving:
- Each serving weighs \( \frac{1}{15} \) pound.
-
Calculate the number of servings:
- Number of servings = Total weight of the box / Weight per serving
- Number of servings = \( \frac{4}{5} \div \frac{1}{15} \)
-
Perform the division:
- Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
- \( \frac{4}{5} \div \frac{1}{15} = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{15}{1} = \frac{4 \times 15}{5 \times 1} = \frac{60}{5} = 12 \)
So, there are 12 servings of Sour Patch Kids available in the box.
The correct answer is 12.
