Question

compare the volumes. how many times smaller is the single - serving compared to the original? volume of original: 171.5 in³. volume of single - serving: 21.4375 in³.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the volumes

We are given volume of original = $171.5$ in³ and volume of single - serving = $21.4375$ in³.

Step2: Calculate the ratio

To find out how many times smaller the single - serving is compared to the original, we divide the volume of the single - serving by the volume of the original. Let $n$ be the factor. So $n=\frac{21.4375}{171.5}$.
$n = 0.125=\frac{1}{8}$

Answer:

The single - serving is $\frac{1}{8}$ times the volume of the original.
