7⅓ servings of popcorn.
Explanation:
Each person receives 3/4 cup of popcorn.
To determine how many servings of popcorn are in 5½ cups, we divide:
[tex]5\frac{1}{2}\div\frac{3}{4}[/tex]We solve the expression above:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{11}{2}\div\frac{3}{4} \\ =\frac{11}{2}\times\frac{4}{3} \\ =\frac{44}{6} \\ =7\frac{2}{6} \\ =7\frac{1}{3}\text{ servings} \end{gathered}[/tex]There are 7⅓ servings of popcorn.
