Question

Each batch of Mrs. Crawley’s Toffee makes 14 pieces of toffee. If sandy needs 8 dozen pieces of toffee, how many batches does she have to make?

Answer 1

To solve this question first find how many pieces are in 8 dozens. 1 dozens equals 12 so to find 8 dozens multiply 12 by 8. This gives you 96. 12 dozens=96 pieces. Now divide 96 by 14 to find out how many batches Sandy has to make. 96 divided by 14 is 7, the answer is rounded up. Therefore, Sandy has to make 7 batches.

Answer 2

7 batches of cookies 14 x 7=98 whereas sandy needs 12 x 8=96 ,so 7 batches would be perfect
