Question

Monique made several batches of soup for a potluck supper. Each batch required 3\4 0f a pound of potatoes, and she used a total of 6 1/2 pounds of potatoes. Solve the division problem.

What is 6 1/2 ÷ 3/4

Answer 1

`The\ value\ of\ (6 (1)/(2))/((3)/(4)) \ is\ (26)/(3).`

`The\ value\ of\ (6 (1)/(2))/((3)/(4)) \ is\ 8.67 (Approx).`

Explanation:

As given

`Monique\ made\ several\ batches\ of\ soup\ for\ a\ potluck\ supper.`

`Each\ batch\ required\ (3)/(4)\ of\ a\ pound\ of\ potatoes.`

`she\ used\ a\ total\ of\ 6 (1)/(2)\ pounds\ of\ potatoes.`

As given the expression.

`= (6 (1)/(2))/((3)/(4))`

`= ((13)/(2))/((3)/(4))`

Solving the above

`= (13* 4)/(2* 3)`

`= (26)/(3)`

In the decimal form.

= 8.67 (Approx)

`Therefore\ the\ value\ of\ (6 (1)/(2))/((3)/(4)) \ is\ (26)/(3).`

`Therefore\ the\ value\ of\ (6 (1)/(2))/((3)/(4)) \ is\ 8.67 (Approx).`
