Answer: She can make 12 batches of brownies. There is a slight remainder, but think about it like this, if you only had a spoon full of sugar left, do you think you could make an entire batch of brownies? No. So if you see problems like this, the whole number should be the answer (unless asked otherwise).

Step-by-step explanation: Since 3/4 is like 75 out of 100, the decimal form is .75 and we all know (or should know) that 1/2 can be put as .5. Whenever there's a whole number before the fraction, and you want to convert the fraction into a decimal, the whole number will go before the decimal. So after converting the fractions to decimals, the problem is 9.5 divided by .75 which is 12.6. Like I said before, that remainder .6 can't make an entire batch of brownies, so we just go with the whole number 12.
