Jean needs 1/3 cup of walnuts for each serving of salad she makes. She has 2 cups of walnuts. How many servings can she make?

Answer 1

Well, there will be three thirds in every cup, yes?

Answer 2

Yes. I know the answer is 6 servings. I just don't know how to show my work

Answer 3

6 servings because each cup of walnuts has 3 servings since there are 3 thirds in each cup, therefore 2*3 = 6
