Answer:
A. 3.2307692308 batches of Muffins
B. 16 1/4 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
Lauren is making muffins. Her muffin recipe calls for 3 1 −4 cups of flour. She has 10 1 −2 cups of flour.
A. Explain a method for determining the number of batches of the muffin recipe Lauren can make. Then use your method to find the number of batches she can make.
Her muffin recipe calls for 3 1 −4 cups of flour. She has 10 1 −2 cups of flour.
3 1/4 cups of flour = 1 batch of Muffin recipe
10 1/2 cups of flour = x
3 1/4 × x = 10 1/2 × 1
x = 10 1/2 ÷ 3 1/4
x = 21/2 ÷ 13/4
x = 21/2 × 4/13
x = 42/13
x = 3.2307692308 batches of Muffins
B. If Lauren plans to make 5 batches of the muffin recipe, use what you know about operating with rational numbers to predict the amount of flour she needs. Justify your prediction.
3 1/4 cups of flour = 1 batch of Muffin recipe
Hence,
1 batch = 3 1/4 cups of flour
5 batches = x
Cross Multiply
x = 5 × 3 1/4 cups of flour
x = 5 × 13/4
x = 65/4
x = 16 1/4 cups of flour

Answer: 1/3
<u>Divide</u>
30/90÷30/30=1/3
Since we are simplifying fractions we divide the numerator and the denominator by a number the fraction can go into.
We could use 10 then divide by 3. You can also just divide by 30 and get the answer.
Let's try dividing by 10 then 3!
30/90÷10/10=3/9
3/9÷3/3=1/3
As you can see we still get 1/3 when we divide by 3. Even tho you have to divide twice you still get 1/3. That's all that matters.
