Respuesta :
10/1 * 1/3 = 30/3
1 1/3 = 4/3
4/3 can only go into 30/3, 7 times, with a remainder of 2/3.
7 2/3
1 1/3 = 4/3
4/3 can only go into 30/3, 7 times, with a remainder of 2/3.
7 2/3
Alright, lets get started.
A baker has 10 cups of sugar to make cookies. Each batch calls for 1 1/3 cups of sugar.
[tex] 1\frac{1}{3} [/tex] is a mixed number, we could write it in fraction form [tex] \frac{4}{3} [/tex].
[tex] \frac{4}{3} [/tex] cups of sugar required for = 1 batch
Hence 1 cup of sugar required for = [tex] \frac{1}{\frac{4}{3}} [/tex]
Hence 1 cup of sugar required for [tex] = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
So, 10 cups of sugar required for = [tex] \frac{3}{4} *10 [/tex]
So, 10 cups of sugar required for = [tex] \frac{30}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{30}{4} [/tex] could be written as [tex] \frac{15}{2} [/tex]
or we could write [tex] 7\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
So, he could make [tex] 7\frac{1}{2} [/tex] batches of cookies. : Answer
Hope it will help :)
