Question

Sue needs 2 1/3 cups of flour for a batch of cookies. How many complete batches can she make with 10 cups of flour?

Answer 1

10/ (2 1/3) = 4.29

so the answer is 4

Answer 2

4 batches

Explanation:

Sue needs flour for a batch of cookies =
`2(1)/(3)` =
`(7)/(3)` cups

with 10 cups of flour sue can make the complete batches =
`((7)/(3))/(10)` cups

=
`(10* 3)/(7)`

=
`(30)/(7)`

=
`4(2)/(7)` batches

She can make 4 complete batches of cookies with 10 cups of flour.
