To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make, we need to divide the total weight of the crackers (42 1/2 ounces) by the weight of each serving (1 1/4 ounce).
First, let's convert 42 1/2 ounces to a mixed number to make it easier to work with:
42 1/2 = 85/2
Now, let's find the number of servings:
(85/2) / (5/4) = (85/2) * (4/5)
Cancel out the common factors:
= (17/1) * (4/1)
Multiply the numerators and denominators:
= (17 * 4) / (1 * 1)
= 68/1
So, Jeremy can make a total of 68 servings from the value pack of crackers.
If you split 42 1/2 ounces of crackers into servings of 1 1/4 ounce each. What is the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack.

Not exactly.. the ounces of cracker is 42.. the answer can’t be over what is being divided..
Apologies for the confusion. Let's correct the calculation.
To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make, we need to divide the total weight of the crackers (42 ounces) by the weight of each serving (1 1/4 ounce).
To divide a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Weight of crackers: 42 ounces
Weight of each serving: 1 1/4 ounce
Convert 1 1/4 to a fraction: 1 1/4 = 5/4
Total number of servings = 42 / (5/4) = 42 * (4/5) = (42 * 4) / 5 = 168 / 5 = 33 and 3/5 servings
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 33 and 3/5 servings from the value pack of crackers.

Convert 1 1/4 to a fraction: 1 1/4 = 5/4
Total number of servings = 42 / (5/4) = 42 * (4/5) = (42 * 4) / 5 = 168 / 5 = 33 and 3/5 servings
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 33 and 3/5 servings from the value pack of crackers.
The only options are; 8 1/2 servings, 34 servings, 43 3/4 servings, 53 servings.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation.
To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make, we need to divide the total weight of the crackers (42 1/2 ounces) by the weight of each serving (1 1/4 ounce).
Convert 42 1/2 ounces to an improper fraction: 42 1/2 = (42 * 2 + 1)/2 = 85/2
Convert 1 1/4 to an improper fraction: 1 1/4 = (1 * 4 + 1)/4 = 5/4
Now, let's divide the total weight of the crackers by the weight of each serving:
85/2 / 5/4 = (85/2) * (4/5)
Cancel out the common factors:
= (17/1) * (4/1) = 17 * 4 = 68
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 68 servings from the value pack of crackers.

Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 68 servings from the value pack of crackers.
It has to be one of the options that I said in my answer above.
Apologies for not providing an answer within the given options. Let's recalculate to find the correct answer.
Total weight of crackers: 42 ounces
Weight of each serving: 1 1/4 ounce
To divide a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Convert 1 1/4 to a fraction: 1 1/4 = 5/4
Total number of servings = 42 / (5/4) = 42 * (4/5) = (42 * 4) / 5 = 168 / 5 = 33 and 3/5 servings
Since the given options do not include 33 and 3/5 servings, it seems that there might be a mistake or missing option in the provided list. Is it possible to check the options again or provide any additional information?

Its 42 and 1/2 ounce of crackers, not 42.
I apologize for the misunderstanding. Let's calculate the number of servings using the correct weight of crackers.
Total weight of crackers: 42 1/2 ounces
Weight of each serving: 1 1/4 ounce
To divide a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Convert 1 1/4 to a fraction: 1 1/4 = 5/4
Total number of servings = 42 1/2 / (5/4)
Convert 42 1/2 to an improper fraction: 42 1/2 = (42 * 2 + 1)/2 = 85/2
Total number of servings = 85/2 / (5/4) = (85/2) * (4/5) = (85 * 4) / (2 * 5) = 340 / 10 = 34
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 34 servings from the value pack of crackers.

Convert 1 1/4 to a fraction: 1 1/4 = 5/4
Total number of servings = 42 1/2 / (5/4)
Convert 42 1/2 to an improper fraction: 42 1/2 = (42 * 2 + 1)/2 = 85/2
Total number of servings = 85/2 / (5/4) = (85/2) * (4/5) = (85 * 4) / (2 * 5) = 340 / 10 = 34
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 34 servings from the value pack of crackers.
