Question

Becky is in charge of making popcorn at the movie theater theater. The popcorn machine uses 3/4 cup of oil fir each batch of person popcorn. How many batches can Becky make if she has a bottle of oil thats has 13 cups in it?​

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

13/4=3+13=16

Answer 2

17

Explanation:

The popcorn machine uses
`(3)/(4)` cup of oil for batch of person popcorn = 1

The popcorn machine uses 1 cup of oil for batch =
`(1)/((3)/(4))`

The popcorn machine uses 13 cup of oil for batch =
`(1)/((3)/(4)) * 13`

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

=
`17.33`

Hence if she has a bottle of oil that has 13 cups in it so, she can make 17 batches approximately.
