The camp cook made 1 1/2 pints of baked beans. each serving of beans is 3/10 of a pint. how many servings of beans did the cook make? simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

number of servings = 5 servings

Explanation:
We are given that each serving is 3/10 of a pint. To know the number of servings of 1.5 pints, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:

1 serving > 3/10 pint
?? servings > 1.5 pints

number of servings = (1.5*1) / (3/10)
number of servings = 5 servings

Hope this helps :)

1. You have that:

 - The camp cook made 1 1/2 pints of baked beans.
 - Each serving of beans is 3/10 of a pint.

 2. Then, you can convert the mixed number (1 1/2) to fraction, as below:

 1 1/2= ((1x2)+1)/2
 1 1/2= 3/2

 3. Now, you must divide 3/2 by 3/10, as below:

 = 3/2÷3/10
 =3x10/2x3
 =30/6
 =5

 How many servings of beans did the cook make?

 The answer is: The cook made 5 servings of beans.
