How many (1\/16)-pound servings are there in a bag of almonds that weighs (3\/4) pounds? Type the answer in the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out how many 116\\frac{1}{16}161\u200b<\/strong>-pound servings are in a 34\\frac{3}{4}43\u200b<\/strong>-pound bag of almonds, we divide the total weight by the weight of one serving:34\u00f7116\\frac{3}{4} \\div \\frac{1}{16}43\u200b\u00f7161\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step Solution:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second:34\u00d7161=3\u00d7164\u00d71=484=12\\frac{3}{4} \\times \\frac{16}{1} = \\frac{3 \\times 16}{4 \\times 1} = \\frac{48}{4} = 1243\u200b\u00d7116\u200b=4\u00d713\u00d716\u200b=448\u200b=12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: 12 servings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

300-Word Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To solve this problem, we are essentially being asked how many times a smaller quantity\u2014116\\frac{1}{16}161\u200b<\/strong> pound\u2014fits into a larger one\u201434\\frac{3}{4}43\u200b<\/strong> pound. This is a classic example of a division problem involving fractions. When dividing one fraction by another, we use the “Keep-Change-Flip” method: keep<\/strong> the first fraction as it is, change<\/strong> the division to multiplication, and flip<\/strong> the second fraction (take its reciprocal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start with the expression:34\u00f7116\\frac{3}{4} \\div \\frac{1}{16}43\u200b\u00f7161\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Keep-Change-Flip:34\u00d7161\\frac{3}{4} \\times \\frac{16}{1}43\u200b\u00d7116\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators:3\u00d7164\u00d71=484=12\\frac{3 \\times 16}{4 \\times 1} = \\frac{48}{4} = 124\u00d713\u00d716\u200b=448\u200b=12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, there are 12<\/strong> one-sixteenth-pound servings in a three-quarter-pound bag of almonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes sense because 1 pound = 16 one-sixteenth-pound servings<\/strong>. So 34\\frac{3}{4}43\u200b<\/strong> of a pound should be 34\u00d716=12\\frac{3}{4} \\times 16 = 1243\u200b\u00d716=12<\/strong> servings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding how to divide fractions is useful in real-life contexts, such as cooking, where ingredient quantities often come in fractions and need to be portioned out. In this example, a person could use this math to plan snack portions, ensuring they evenly divide a bulk amount into smaller, equal servings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
