Complete Question

Every time Luisa bakes a batch of brownies she uses 1/2 cup of chocolate if she has 3/2 cups of chocolate remaining how many batches of brownies can Luisa make

Answer:

3 batches of brownies from 3/2 cups of chocolate left.

Explanation:

From the question, we know that:

1/2 cups of chocolate = 1 batch of brownies

3/2 cups of chocolate = x

Cross Multiply

1/2 × x = 3/2

x = 3/2/1/2

x = 3/2 × 2/1

x = 3 batches.

Approximately as a whole number , he can make 3 batches of brownies from 3/2 cups of chocolate left
