A box with #13# cups holds #17# full servings, with a bit left over.

Explanation:

Each cup holds a bit more than 1 serving, so we know there are at least 13 servings in a box.

We need to know how many servings of #3/4# cup can be obtained from 13 cups.

You just divide #13 " by " 3/4#.

#13 div 3/4 = 13 xx 4/3#

#52/3 = 17 1/3#

There are 17 servings with #1/3# of a serving left over.
