Vera wants to split up 4 bags of nuts among her teammates. If she wants each serving to be 1/3

Question

of a bag, how many teammates can she serve?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how many teammates Vera can serve, we start by determining the total amount of servings available. Vera has 4 bags of nuts and each serving is \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a bag.

First, we calculate the total number of servings:

\[ \text{Total servings} = \text{Total bags} \div \text{Serving size} = 4 \text{ bags} \div \frac{1}{3} \text{ bag/serving} \]

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

\[ \text{Total servings} = 4 \times 3 = 12 \]

So, Vera can serve 12 teammates.
