A recipe calls 2 1/3 cups oatmeal. You double the recipe and then divide it evenly into 14 servings. How much oatmeal is in each serving?

Answer 1

To double the recipe, you would need 2 times 2 1/3 cups of oatmeal, which equals 4 2/3 cups of oatmeal.
Dividing evenly into 14 servings means you divide the total amount of oatmeal by 14.
So, each serving contains 4 2/3 cups ÷ 14 = 4/3 ÷ 14/1 = 4/3 × 1/14 = 4/42 = 2/21 = 0.0952 cups of oatmeal.
Rounded to two decimal places, each serving contains approximately 0.0952 cups of oatmeal.
