Question

1. a box of masons cereal contains 479.4 grams of cereal. mason eats 28.2 grams of cereal per serving. write a division equation that could be used to find the number of servings of cereal mason can eat from one box of cereal. (example 1)

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables

Let \( n \) be the number of servings. The total grams of cereal is \( 479.4 \) and per serving is \( 28.2 \) grams.

Step2: Set up division equation

To find the number of servings, we divide total grams by grams per serving. So the equation is \( n=\frac{479.4}{28.2} \) or in division form \( 479.4\div28.2 = n \)

Answer:

\( 479.4\div28.2 = n \) (where \( n \) is the number of servings)
