Question

Tyra has 12 2/3 cups of sugar. If r is the amount of sugar called for in one batch of cookies, the expression 12 2/3 ÷ r can be used to find how many batches Tyra can make with the sugar she has. If r is 2/3 cup, how many batches of cookies can Tyra make?

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

because 12 23 divided by 2/3=12.6666667 so .6666667 is greater than 2/3, then simplify your answer to the closest value.

Answer 2

13 batches of cookies

Explanation:

12 2/3 ÷ 2/3 = 12.6666667, it's 13 because 2/3 as a decimal is .6666666 and .6666667 is more than 2/3. So you add one to the answer.
