@JoannaBlackwelder

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

o wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those options aren't complete

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

\[a=\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\] \[b=\frac{ 1 }{ 7}\] \[c=\frac{ 7 }{ 6}\] \[d=\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }\]

OpenStudy (batgirl13):

ummm How many cups of juice does it call for.

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

joanna?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I agree with @BatGirl13 The problem is still incomplete.

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

i fixed it

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

its \[1\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\]

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Sweet. Any ideas how to start?

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

no im not good with fractions

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, well, let's think about the idea before we work with the numbers. What operation do we need to do to get cups/serving?

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

divistion?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yep, good.

OpenStudy (batgirl13):

YeS I agree with Joanna.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I would first convert the mixed number to a improper fraction or decimal.

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

k

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Multiply the base by the whole number and add to the numerator.

OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

oh ok

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Then we need to divide by the 7 servings.
