PART D

Answer 1

A) 4 batches

B) 1 1/2 batches

C) 10 batches

D) 1 2/3 batches

Explanation:

A) A 1/4 goes into 1, 4 times so it would make 4 batches.

B) 1/4 = 2/8 so 3/8 = 1.5/4 and that would make 1.5 batches.

C) since 1 cup of sugar can make 4 batches, 2 cups can make 8 batches and 1/2 cup makes 2, so 8+2= 10 batches

D) 1/4=3/12 that means 5/12 = 1/4+1/6 and 1/6 divided by 1/4 = 2/3 so that means that it can make 1 2/3 batches.
