Frank is making salad dressing for a large party. If a serving is 2 1/2 tablespoons, how many servings can he make with 85 tablespoons?

Answer 1

To find the number of servings Frank can make with 85 tablespoons, we need to divide 85 by the serving size of 2 1/2 tablespoons.

First, let's convert 2 1/2 tablespoons to a fraction. We can rewrite this as 5/2 tablespoons.

Next, we can divide 85 tablespoons by 5/2 tablespoons to find the number of servings: 85 / (5/2) = 85 * (2/5) = 170/5 = <<85*(2/5)=34>>34.

Therefore, Frank can make 34 servings of salad dressing.
