Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack, we need to divide the total number of ounces in the value pack by the weight of each serving.

The value pack contains 42 1/2 cheese crackers, which can be written as 42.5.

Each serving weighs 1 1/4 ounces, which can be written as 1.25.

Therefore, the total number of servings Jeremy can make is:

42.5 / 1.25 = 34 servings. Answer: \boxed{34}.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find out the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack, we need to divide the total number of ounces in the pack by the ounces per serving.

First, let's convert the given whole number, 42, to a fraction:

42 = 42/1

Next, we convert the mixed number, 1/2, to an improper fraction:

1/2 = 1 * (2/2) = 2/2 = 1

So, the fraction becomes 42 1/2 = 42 + 1 = 42 + 2/2 = 42 + 4/4 = 42 + 4/4 = 42 + 1 = 43/2

Now, let's divide 43/2 by 1 1/4:

To divide fractions, we multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

1 1/4 = (4/4) + (1/4) = 5/4

Dividing 43/2 by 5/4:

(43/2) ÷ (5/4) = (43/2) * (4/5) = (43 * 4) / (2 * 5) = 172/10 = 17.2

Therefore, the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack is 17.2 servings.

To find the total number of servings Jeremy can make from the value pack, we need to divide the total ounces of crackers in the value pack by the serving size.

First, let's find the total number of ounces in the value pack.

Given that Jeremy buys a value pack of 42 1/2 cheese crackers, we can convert this to a fraction of 42.5 (since 1/2 is equal to 0.5).

So, the total number of ounces in the value pack is 42.5 ounces.

Next, let's determine the serving size. Given that Jeremy divides the value pack into servings of 1 1/4 ounces each, we can convert this to a fraction of 1.25.

Now, we can divide the total ounces of crackers in the value pack by the serving size to find the total number of servings Jeremy can make.

42.5 ounces / 1.25 ounces = 34

Therefore, Jeremy can make a total of 34 servings from the value pack of cheese crackers.
