Step-by-step explanation:
what do we do, if we want to know how often something fits into another thing ?
we divide.
as we want to know how many 1/5 cups fit into 5 3/8 cups.
so,
(5 3/8) / (1/5)
5 3/8 = (8×5+3)/8 = 43/8
(43/8) / (1/5)
now we also know : dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying with the upside-down fraction.
(43/8) × (5/1) = (43/8) × 5 = 43×5/8 = 215/8 = 26 7/8
so, there are 26 1/5 cups servings in 5 3/8, with a remainder of 7/8 of a 1/5 cup = 7/8 × 1/5 = 7/40 cup.
