To determine how many servings of almonds Iris bought, we need to divide the total amount of almonds by the amount per serving.
Iris bought three and one-half cups of almonds, which can be converted to an improper fraction:
\( 3.5 = \frac{7}{2} \)
One serving of almonds is one-fourth cup, which can also be represented as:
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
Now, we can find the number of servings by dividing the total amount of almonds by the amount per serving:
\[ \text{Number of servings} = \frac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{1}{4}} \]
To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal:
\[ \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{7 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = \frac{28}{2} = 14 \]
So, Iris bought 14 servings of almonds.
The correct response is A 14.
