a box of rotini noodles contains 10 servings. If you eat 7/8 of the recommended serving as a meal, how many complete meals can you get from one box

11 whole meals

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that you have 800 noodles in one box. The serving size would be 80 noodles / meal. Then the question says you eat 7/8 of the recommended meal, which would be 70 noodles.
