Question

Steve has 1 1/2 cups of flour. One of his recipes requires 1/8 cup of flour. What is the maximum number of times (batches) Steve can complete the recipe?

Answer 1

12 batches

Explanation:

Total cups of flour = 1 1/2

Flour used per batch = 1/8 cups

What is the maximum number of times (batches) Steve can complete the recipe?

Maximum batches Steve can make = Total cups of flour / Flour used per batch

= 1 1/2 ÷ 1/8

= 3/2 ÷ 1/8

= 3/2 × 8/1

= (3*8) / (2*1)

= 24 / 2

= 12 batches

Maximum batches Steve can make = 12 batches
