Bobby takes 15 mins to prepare 3 1/4 cups of juice.

Lets find out how long does he takes to prepare 1 cup of juice.


3 (1)/(4) \text { cups = } 15 \text { mins}

Divide by 3 1/4 on both sides:

\text { 1 cups = } 15 / 3 (1)/(4) \text { mins}

Change to improper fraction:

\text { 1 cups = } 15 / (13)/(4) \text { mins}

Change the divide fraction to multiplication fraction:

\text { 1 cups = } 15 * (4)/(13) \text { mins}

Combine into single fraction:

\text { 1 cups = } (60)/(13) \text { mins}

Find time needed to prepare 32 1/2 cups of juice

\text { 1 cups = } (60)/(13) \text { mins}


32 (1)/(2) \text { cups = } (60)/(13) * 32 (1)/(2) \text { mins}


32 (1)/(2) \text { cups = } (60)/(13) * (65)/(2) \text { mins}


32 (1)/(2) \text { cups = } 150 \text { mins}

Convert mins to hours

\text {Number of hours = } 150 / 60


\text {Number of hours = } 2 (1)/(2)


\bf \text {Answer: Bobby needs } 2 (1)/(2) \text { hours to make } 32 (1)/(2) \text { cups of juice. }
