Let's first determine how many servings of compote we can make with 1 can of fruit.
To do so, we must determine how many times \(\frac{1}{2}\) divides into \(3\frac{1}{2}\)

\(3\frac{1}{2} ÷ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} ÷ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{2}{1} =7\)
So, each can of fruit can make 7 servings of compote.

60/7 = 8.something, which means we'll need 9 cans of fruit to prepare 60 servings of the compote
