Hey there! If Kevin needs 1/8 pound of butter to make cookies and has 11/8 pounds of butter he can make 11 batches of cookies because 11/8 ( How much butter he has) divided by 1/8 (Amount of butter needed for one batch) equals 11 (Total number of batches he can make). so your answer would be 1/8 x 11 = 11/8 Hope that helps!
