A recipe calls for 5 8 pound of cheese per batch. Assuming you have enough of the other ingredients, how many batches of the recipe can you make with 5 pounds of cheese?
I assume you mean 5/8 of a pound not 58 pounds. In that case convert your total number of pounds into eights to make it easier to calculate. 5 pounds is equal to 40/8 pounds of cheese. Now divide this by 5/8. That equals 8. SO you can make 8 batches.
