Step-by-step explanation:

to make 3/4 compatible with 11/8 you must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 to get 6/8

he has 11/8 cups of strawberries

he needs 6/8 cups of strawberries

he can make 1 batch of tarts and he will have 5/8 cup strawberries left

divide 6/8 by 5/8 to get 5/6

he can make 1 5/6 batches of tarts
