Answer 2

Step 1

Given; Austin has a granola recipe that requires 5/6 pounds of oats to make one batch of granola. if Austin uses 2 1/2 pounds of oats while making granola, how many batches has he made?

Step 2

Using ratio

`\frac{(5)/(6)pounds\text{ of oats}}{2(1)/(2)pounds\text{ of oats}}=\frac{1\text{ batch of granola}}{x}`
`\begin{gathered} (5)/(6)x=(5)/(2) \\ 10x=30 \\ x=(30)/(10) \\ x=3 \end{gathered}`

Answer;

`3\text{ batches}`
