Answer: 8 ounces of almonds

Explanation:

From the question,a factory uses 7 ounces of almonds in making 7/8

batch of granola bars.

To get the number of ounces of almonds the factory use for each batch of granola bars, we divide 7 by 7/8. This will give:

= 7 ÷ 7/8

= 7 × 8/7

= 8 ounces of almonds
