Hello!

To find how much batches of cookies the factory made, we need to divide the total number of bags of flour used by how many bags of flour are needed for one batch of cookies.

Before dividing, we need to convert the complex fraction into an improper fraction.

1 1/5 → 5 × 1 + 1 = 6/5

7 1/5 → 5 × 7 + 1 = 36/5

For every batch of cookies, the factory uses 6/5 bags of flour. Yesterday, the factory used 36/5 bags of flour.

Remember when dividing by a fraction, it is like multiplying its reciprocal. This means that the second fraction is flipped, then which it can be multiplied together.

\frac{36}{5} / \frac{6}{5} → \frac{36}{5} * \frac{5}{6} = \frac{180}{30} = 6

Therefore, the cookie factory made 6 batches of cookies yesterday.

laura decides to walk to her job. she walks 1 1\2 miles in 3\5 hour. what is laura's walking rate? laura's job is 4 1\2 miles aw
Nuetrik [128]
To find the rate in miles per hour, divide the miles by the hours.

(1 1/2 miles)/(3/5 hour) =

= 3/2 miles * (5/3 hour)

= 5/2 mph

= 2 1/2 mph

Her walking rate is 2 1/2 mph.

(4 1/2 miles) / ( 2 1/2 mph) =

= 9/2 miles / (5/2 mph)

= 9/2 * 2/5 hours

= 9/5 hours

= 1 4/5 hours

From 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m., she has 2 hours, but she only needs 1 4/5 hours to walk, so she will make it to work on time.
