Question

A batch of cookies requires 1 1/2 cups of sugar. How many batches can Ty make with 7 1/2 cups of sugar?

Answer 1

Ty can make 5 because if you add 1 1/2 5 times it will add up to 7 1/2

Answer 2

5 batch of cookies.

Explanation:

A batch of cookie requires
`1(1)/(2)` cups of sugar.

Ty has
`7(1)/(2)` cups of sugar.

He can make the total number of batches =
`7(1)/(2)` ÷
`1(1)/(2)`

=
`(15)/(2)` ÷
`(3)/(2)`

=
`(15)/(2)` ×
`(2)/(3)`

=
`(30)/(6)`

= 5 batches of cookies

Ty can make 5 batches of cookies.
