Question

A recipe requires ¾ cup of nuts for 1 batch of muffins. Write the number of batches of muffins that can be made using 7 ½ cups of nuts.

Answer 1

10 batches

Explanation:

3/4 cups = 1 muffins

15/2 cups = x muffins

For x muffins,

3/4 × X = 15/2 × 1

3x × 2 = 15×4

6x = 60

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 60/6

X = 10

Hence 10 batches of muffins will be made from 15/2 cups of nuts.
