Step-by-step explanation:It’s B and E

Answer 2

If Monique used a total of 6 1/2 pounds of potatoes and each batch required 3/4 of a pound of potatoes, then you have to divide the total amount of pounds by an amount of pounds needed for one batch:

`6(1)/(2):(3)/(4)=(13)/(2)\cdot (4)/(3) =(26)/(3)=8(2)/(3).`

Answer:
`8(2)/(3).`
