Question

Roger has 2 1/2 cups of peanut butter. A recipe for a loaf of bread requires 3/4 cups of butter. How many loaves of bread can he make?

Answer 1

3 loaves of bread

Explanation:

We must divide
`2\frac12` by
`\frac34` and take an integer part of this dividing.

`2\frac12:\frac34=\frac52:\frac34=\frac52\cdot\frac43=(20)/(6)=\frac{10}3=3\frac13`

The integer part of a mixed fraction
`3\frac13` is 3, and this is the answer.
