PROBLEM 1.
1 serving = 5/6 pound
30 servings = 5/6 pound * 30 = ?
You finish this
======================================
PROBLEM 3.
Single recipe = 6 and 5/7 cups
To convert this complex number into a fraction, first multiply the denominator (7) by the whole number (6), add the numerator (5), then place the result over the denominator.
So that gives us ((7 * 6) + 5)/7 = 47/7 cups
Double recipe = 47/7 cups * 2 = ?
You finish this.
=====================================
PROBLEM 5.
Oil in truck = 4 and 1/3 cans
Convert this complex number into a single fraction = ((3 * 4) + 1)/3 = 13/3 cans
Oil in can = 5 and 1/4 ounces
Convert this complex number into a single fraction = ((4 * 5) + 1)/ = 21/4 ounces
Oil ounces in truck = (13/3)(21/4) = ?
You finish this.

You now have enough information to help you figure out Problems 2 and 4.
