Answer:

11 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since I don't prefer fractions, I am converting the fractions into decimals. 8 and 1/4 turns into 8.25 and 3/4 turns into 0.75. So you can make an equation, asking how many 0.75 cup servings equal a 8.25 box? That looks like this: 0.75x=8.25. Divide each side by 0.75, and you get x=11, so 11 servings.
