Answer:
a) Yes she has enough oil for 2 batches
b) 1/4 miles
Explanation:
a) A recipe for 1 batch of cookies calls for 1/3 cup of oil. You have 3/4 cup of oil. Do you have enough oil for 2 batches of cookies?
1 batch of cookies = 1/3 cup of oil
2 batches = x
Cross Multiply
x = 2 × 1/3 cup of oil
x = 2/3 cup of oil will be needed for 2 batches
Subtracting 2/3 for 3/4
= 3/4 - 2/3
= 1/12 cup of oil is left
Yes she has enough oli for 2 batches
b) Complete Question
Clara travels a total of 2 3/4 miles to school each day. She walks 1/2 mile from her home to the bus stop. She then travels 2 miles on the city bus. In miles, how far does the bus drop her off from school?
This is calculated as:
2 3/4 miles - ( 2 miles + 1/2 ) miles
= 2 3/4 - 2 1/2
= 1/4 miles
