Question

A factory uses 3/8 of a barrel of pecans in each batch of cookies. Yesterday, the factory used 3/4 of a barrel of pecans. How many batches of cookies did the factory make yesterday

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

1 batch of cookies is equal to 0.375. 3/4 a barrel of cookies is equal to 0.75. 0.75/0.375 is equal to 2. So 3/4 a barrel is 2 batches of cookies.
