We can understand that from the question:

1 serving of cereal = 2/3 cup of cereal

Candace ate 3/4 cup of cereal.

The number of servings candace ate is calculated as :

2/3 cup of cereal = 1 serving of cereal

3/4 cup of cereal = y

Cross Multiply

2/3 cup of cereal x y = 3/4 cup of cereal x 1 serving of cereal

Divide both sides by 2/3 cup of cereal

y = (3/4 cup of cereal x 1 serving of cereal) / (2/3 cup of cereal)

y = 1 1/8 servings

Therefore, the number of servings Candace ate is 1 1/8 servings
