Answer:
[tex]x=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the required size.
We are asked to find [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] teaspoons is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] groups of what size.
This means that [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of x is equal to [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]. We can represent our given information in an equation as:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
[tex]4 \times \frac{1}{4}x=4 \times \frac{7}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x=1 \times \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex].
