Question

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. How many batches of soup did Monique make?

Answer 1

If Monique used a total of 6 1/2 pounds of potatoes and each batch required 3/4 of a pound of potatoes, then you have to divide the total amount of pounds by an amount of pounds needed for one batch:

$6\dfrac{1}{2}:\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{13}{2}\cdot \dfrac{4}{3} =\dfrac{26}{3}=8\dfrac{2}{3}.$

Answer: $8\dfrac{2}{3}.$
