Question

Gina is making pancakes for breakfast. Each batch of pancakes calls for 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt. Gina has 9/10 of a teaspoon of salt left. How many batches of pancakes can she make?

Answer 1

Divide the total amount she has by how much she needs per batch.

When dividing fractions, flip the second one over and then multiply straight across.

9/10 / 1/4 becomes: 9/10 x 4/1

9/10 x 4/1 = 36/10 = 3 6/10 = 3 3/5

She can make 3 more batches and have 3/5 of a teaspoon left over.
