Question

A restaurant uses 32 potatoes for each batch of potato soup it makes. About how many batches of potato soup can the restaurant make from its last shipment of 1,275 potatoes? A 30 B 40 C 45 D 50

Answer 1

The answer is B (40)

Explanation:

If you divide 1,275 by 32 you get 42 with a remainder of 11. So if you take the 42 as the whole number and take the remainder (11) and make it the numerator and make 32 the denominator, you should get 42 11/32 as the result. After that you should round that number and you get 40 so the answer is B.
