To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack, we need to divide the total number of ounces in the value pack (42 1/2 ounces) by the size of each serving (1 1/4 ounces).
First, we need to convert 42 1/2 ounces to a mixed number. Since there are 2 halves in a whole, we can rewrite 1/2 as 2/2. Therefore, 42 1/2 ounces is equivalent to 42 2/2 ounces. Adding the whole number part (42) and the fraction part (2/2) together, we get 44/2 ounces.
Next, we divide 44/2 ounces by 1 1/4 ounces. We can convert 1 1/4 to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number part (1) by the denominator (4) and adding the numerator (1) to get 5/4. Therefore, we divide 44/2 by 5/4.
To divide fractions, we multiply the dividend (44/2) by the reciprocal of the divisor (4/5). The reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4. Therefore, we multiply 44/2 by 5/4.
(44/2) * (5/4) = (44 * 5) / (2 * 4) = 220/8 = 27 4/8.
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 27 4/8 servings from the value pack.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Dividing both 27 and 8 by 4, we get 6 2/8.
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 6 1/4 servings from the value pack.
