Answer: 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a box contains 1 3/4 pounds of pancake mix and that Jada used 7/8 pound for a recipe.
The fraction of the pancake mix in the box that she used will be calculated by dividing the amount used by the total amount in the box. This will be:
= 7/8 ÷ 1 3/4
= 7/8 ÷ 7/4
= 7/8 × 4/7
= 4/8
= 1/2
The fraction of the pancake mix in the box that she use is 1/2.
