Question

A baker wants to make 10 batches of cookie. each batch uses 2/3 cup.of sugar. How many cups of sugar will the baker need to make all 10 batches?

Can you solve this problem 2 different ways?

Answer 1

10 x 2/3 = 20/3 or 6 cups and 2/3

There isn't two answers the answer is 20/3 however when you simplify the answer to cups the answer is 6 even cups and a 2/3 of a cup.

If I tell you that you need 20/3 for the backer to make all 10 batches then that would be confusing. When I simplify the fraction then it comes out 6 2/3

Hope this helped. Have a blessed day!
