Sweet. Any ideas how to start?
OpenStudy (trwatkins1):

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):

YeS I agree with Joanna.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
I would first convert the mixed number to a improper fraction or decimal.

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.
