Answer :

Answer:

21.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the correct question: Lois made a dish with 4 1/3 cups of pasta. One serving of the pasta is 0.2 cups. How many servings of pasta were in the dish Lois made?

Given: Lois made dish with [tex]4\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

           One serving of pasta= 0.2 cups

Now, using unitary method to find total number of servings of pasta were in the dish Lois made.

First, lets convert [tex]4 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] into decimal

[tex]\frac{4\times 3 +1}{3} = \frac{13}{3}[/tex]= 4.33 cups

∴ Lois made a dish with 4.33 cups of pasta.

We know, One serving of pasta= 0.2 cups

∴ Total serving in 4.33 cups of pasta= [tex]\frac{4.33}{0.2}= 21.6666 \approx 21.67[/tex]

21.67 serving is possible in [tex]4\frac{1}{3} \ cups[/tex] of pasta.
