Question

How many batches of brownies can you bake with 8 and one half sticks of butter and you need three fourths sticks of butter for each batch of brownies

Answer 1

`8 (1)/(2) = (17)/(2)`


`(17)/(2) / (3)/(4)`


`(17)/(2) * (4)/(3)` =
`(34)/(3)`


`= 11(1)/(3)`

can make 11 batches with 1/3 stick butter left over
