Question

Lannie has 5 1/2 cups of chocolate chips. She needs 1 3/4 cups to make one batch of chocolate

chip cookies. How many batches of chocolate chip cookies can she make?

Answer 1

Has 5 1/2 cups or 11/2

Needs 1 3/4 or 7/4

Divide how much she has by how much she needs

(11/2) / (7/4)

Is also the same as

(11/2) * (4/7)

Which equals

= 44/14

= 22/7

or 3 1/7
