Question

A cookie factory uses 1 1/3 bags of flour in each batch of cookies. The factory used 6 2/3 bags of flour yesterday. How many batches of cookies did the factory make

Answer 1

Answer: you can get the full fraction by multiplying 6x3 which is 18 so then you add 18 and 2 and you get 20 so now the fraction is 20/3

and you need 11/3 for a batch so now you have 1 whole batch and 9/3 so you just make the 11 a percentage which is 81%

so the answer is 1 whole batch and 81% of another

or 1 9/3
