Respuesta :
First, we need to find the least common denominator. The LCD for 7/8 and 1/3 would be 24. 7*3/8*3 = 21/24. 1*8/3*8 = 8/24. So, how many 8/24 will go into 21/24? 8 goes into 21 two times, and we are left with a remainder of 5. The answer is: Karen can make 2 and 1/24 servings of 1/3 cups of ice cream.
Answer: 2.625 servings.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer you simply have to divide the total amount of ice cream that Karen has by the size of the each serving that she wants to make:
[tex]\frac{\frac{7}{8} }{\frac{1}{3} }=\frac{3*7}{8*1}=\frac{21}{8}=2.625[/tex]
So, Karen can make 2.625 servings of ice cream.
