To find the total number of servings, we need to divide the total number of ounces in the value pack by the number of ounces per serving. Let's call the total number of ounces in the value pack "x" and the number of ounces per serving "y".
The number of servings = x / y.

Jeremy buys a value pack of cheese crackers that contains 42 1/2 ounces of crackers. He divides this into servings 1 1/2 of ounces each. What is the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack?
To find the total number of servings, we need to divide the total number of ounces in the value pack by the number of ounces per serving.
First, we need to convert the mixed number 42 1/2 to a fraction. Since 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4, we have:
42 1/2 = 42 + 1/2 = 42 + 2/4 = 42 + 1/2 = 42 + 2/4 = 84/2 + 2/4 = 86/2
Now, let's divide the total number of ounces (86/2) by the number of ounces per serving (1 1/2):
(86/2) / (1 1/2)
To simplify, let's convert the mixed number 1 1/2 to an improper fraction. We have:
1 1/2 = 1 + 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
Therefore, we have:
(86/2) / (3/2) = 86/2 * 2/3 = 86/3.
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 86/3 = 28 2/3 servings from the value pack.
First, we need to convert the mixed number 42 1/2 to a fraction. Since 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4, we have:
42 1/2 = 42 + 1/2 = 42 + 2/4 = 42 + 1/2 = 42 + 2/4 = 84/2 + 2/4 = 86/2
Now, let's divide the total number of ounces (86/2) by the number of ounces per serving (1 1/2):
(86/2) / (1 1/2)
To simplify, let's convert the mixed number 1 1/2 to an improper fraction. We have:
1 1/2 = 1 + 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
Therefore, we have:
(86/2) / (3/2) = 86/2 * 2/3 = 86/3.
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 86/3 = 28 2/3 servings from the value pack.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's calculate again:
To find the total number of servings, we need to divide the total number of ounces in the value pack by the number of ounces per serving.
The total number of ounces in the value pack is 42 1/2.
To simplify, we convert 42 1/2 to an improper fraction:
42 1/2 = 42 + 1/2 = 84/2 + 1/2 = 85/2
The number of ounces per serving is 1 1/2.
To simplify, we convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction:
1 1/2 = 1 + 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
Now, let's divide the total number of ounces (85/2) by the number of ounces per serving (3/2):
(85/2) / (3/2) = 85/2 * 2/3 = 85/3
Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 85/3 = 28 1/3 servings from the value pack.
Again, I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.
