    The first thing you do is to make 2 1/2 a top-heavy fraction:

    2 1/2 = 2 X 2 + 1 = 5/2

    Now it's just division with fractions.

    5/2 / 1/8

    All you have to do is switch the 8 and the 1 around and then change the divide sign in a X:

    5/2 X 8/1 =

    40/2 = 20/1.

    Carol has 20 servings of strawberry pie left.
