Question

phoebe needs to use 3/4 cup to make one batch of cookies how many batches can she make with 12 cups of sugar?

Answer 1

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}\stackrel{sugar}{cups}&\stackrel{cookies}{batches}\\\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\\frac{3}{4}&1\\\\12&b\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{4}\quad }{12}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{4}\quad }{\frac{12}{1}}=\cfrac{1}{b}\\\\\\\cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{12}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies \cfrac{3}{48}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies 3b=48\implies b=\cfrac{48}{3}\implies b=16$

Answer 2

She can make 16 batches with 12 cups because 3/4 x 16 = 12.

HOPE THIS CAN HELP.
