Question

A baker has 10 cups of sugar to make cookies. Each batch calls for 1 1/3 cups of sugar.

Answer 1

10/1 * 1/3 = 30/3

1 1/3 = 4/3

4/3 can only go into 30/3, 7 times, with a remainder of 2/3.

7 2/3

Answer 2

Alright, lets get started.

A baker has 10 cups of sugar to make cookies. Each batch calls for 1 1/3 cups of sugar.

$1\frac{1}{3}$ is a mixed number, we could write it in fraction form $\frac{4}{3}$.

$\frac{4}{3}$ cups of sugar required for = 1 batch

Hence 1 cup of sugar required for = $\frac{1}{\frac{4}{3}}$

Hence 1 cup of sugar required for $= \frac{3}{4}$

So, 10 cups of sugar required for = $\frac{3}{4} *10$

So, 10 cups of sugar required for = $\frac{30}{4}$

$\frac{30}{4}$ could be written as $\frac{15}{2}$

or we could write $7\frac{1}{2}$

So, he could make $7\frac{1}{2}$ batches of cookies. : Answer
