Question

How many batches of brownies can you bake with 8 and one half sticks of butter and you need three fourths sticks of butter for each batch of brownies

Answer 1

$8 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{17}{2}$

$\frac{17}{2} / \frac{3}{4}$

  $\frac{17}{2} * \frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{34}{3}$

$= 11\frac{1}{3}$

can make 11 batches with 1/3 stick butter left over
