Question

A recipe requires 1/3 cup of pineapples for 1 batch of smoothies. Enter the number of batches of smoothies that can be made using 2 2/3 cups of pineapples

Answer 1

Given data:

The number of pineapple require for 1 batch is 1/3.

The given information can be written as,

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)C=1B \\ 1C=3B \end{gathered}`

Multiplies the above expression by 2 2/3 on both sides.

`\begin{gathered} (8)/(3)(1C)=(8)/(3)(3B) \\ (8)/(3)C=8B \end{gathered}`

Thus, eight batches are required.
