To find the number of servings Jeremy could make, we need to divide the total number of ounces of crackers by the number of ounces in each serving. 42 and 1/2 ÷ 1 and 1/4 = 85/2 ÷ 5/4 = 85/2 × 4/5 = 17 × 4/5 = 68/5 = <<68/5=13.6>>13.6. This is equivalent to 13 and 3/5 servings. Since we can't have a fraction of a serving, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Jeremy could make 13 servings from the value pack.
