bloomlocke367 · Answer

I can't give direct answers... so you know the answer is not a... the question is asking how many servings his recipe makes.. if the fractions are throwing you off, pretend they're whole numbers. say his serving yields 6 cups and each serving is 2 cups. Can you figure it out then, or do you still not know?
