Problem
A soup recipe uses \(3/4~\text{cup}\) of broth per serving, and you have \(2~1/4~\text{cups}\). Calculate the number of servings.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The question asks how many three-fourths-cup groups fit inside the total broth, so the structure is total divided by serving size. We’ll convert two and one fourth to fourths, multiply by the reciprocal of three fourths, and interpret the quotient as a serving count. Grouping the quarter-cup sections provides a visual check.
