Answer 1

b and e are the best options and are true

Answer 2

The answer is below

Explanation:

Monique made several batches of soup for a potluck supper. Each batch required 3\4 of a pound of potatoes, and she used a total of 6 1/2 pounds of

potatoes. Solve the division problem.

What is 13/2 ÷ 3/4

Answer:

a) 3\4 of a pound of potatoes can make a batch of potluck supper. Monique used 6 1/2 pounds of potatoes in total. Let n represent the number of batches of soup that was made, hence:

`n=(total\ number\ of\ potatoes\ used)/(6 1/2 pounds ofpotatoes\ to\ make\ a\ batch\ of\ soup) \\\\n=(6(1)/(2) )/((3)/(4) ) =((13)/(2) )/((3)/(4) ) =(13)/(2)*(4)/(3) =8.67`

Therefore Monique made about 8 batches of soup

b)
`((13)/(2) )/((3)/(4) ) =(13)/(2)*(4)/(3) =(26)/(3) =8.67`
