Answer 1

The container of orange juice held 5 1/3 cups of juice. If a serving of orange juice is 7/8 of a cup of orange juice, to the nearest whole serving, hoe many servings were in the container?
Here are the choices:
A. 5 servings
B. 6 servings
C. 15 servings
D. 19 servings

(5 1/3) / (7/8) = 6.095

The answer is B. 6 servings

Answer 2

The container holds 16/3 cups. To find out how many 7/8 cup servings that is we divide 16/3 by 7/8, which means we multiply by 8/7: 16/3*8/7=(16*8)/(3*7)=128/21=(126+2)/21=6 2/21. So that's just over 6 servings (answer B). To prove it multiply 7/8 by 6=21/4=5 1/4, which is slightly less than 5 1/3, leaving a little orange juice in the container.
