Answer: She can make 5.7 batches of muffin

Explanation:

Pam has 3 4/5 cups of milk. Let us first convert 3 4/5 cups of milk to improper fraction. It becomes 19/5 cups of milk.

She wants to make muffins and needs 2/3 of a cup of milk for each batch of muffin

Let x = number of batches of muffin that she can make

If 1 batch of muffin requires 2/3 of a cup of milk , then

x batches will require 19/5 cups of milk.

2x/3 = 19/5

2x = (19 × 3)/5 = 11.4

x = 11.4 / 2 = 5.7

She can make 5.7 batches of muffin
