Answer:  The required number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in a 12 cup container is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in a 12 cup container.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

We have

Number of 1 serving in a 12 cup container = 12.

Therefore, the number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in a 2 cup container is given by

\(\dfrac{12}{\dfrac{1}{4}}=12\times4=48\)

Thus, the required number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in a 12 cup container is 48.

Answer:

There are 48 \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in 12 cup container.


Explanation:

Unitary Method: It is a specific method to solve a question in which first we find  the value of single term (mostly by dividing), and then find the required value( mostly by multiplying) by it .

For example : cost of 5 pens = $20 ,

To find : cost of 3 pens

Cost of 1 pen = $20 ÷ 5= $4

Then, cost of 3 pens = 3 x $4=$12

Further explanation:

In the given problem , we need to find the number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in 12 cups container.


Basically we are finding the number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) cup servings in 12 cups container.


First we known that 1 cup servings in 12 cup container = 12


Then, the number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in 12 cup container =  \(12\div\dfrac{1}{4}\)


i.e. the number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in 12 cup container =  \(12\times\dfrac{4}{1}\)

[when we divide a number by fraction, then in the next it becomes the product of the number and the reciprocal of the fraction]


i.e. the number of \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in 12 cup container = 48


Therefore, there are 48 \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) servings in 12 cup container.
