What like break down on answer of question Bobby start in the juice that it takes for 15 minutes to prepare 3 1/4 cups of juice how many hours would it take how to prepare 32 1/2 cups of juice

Answer 1

Bobby takes 15 mins to prepare 3 1/4 cups of juice.

Lets find out how long does he takes to prepare 1 cup of juice.

$3 \dfrac{1}{4} \text { cups = } 15 \text { mins}$

Divide by 3 1/4 on both sides:
$\text { 1 cups = } 15 \div 3 \dfrac{1}{4} \text { mins}$

Change to improper fraction:
$\text { 1 cups = } 15 \div \dfrac{13}{4} \text { mins}$

Change the divide fraction to multiplication fraction:
$\text { 1 cups = } 15 \times \dfrac{4}{13} \text { mins}$

Combine into single fraction:
$\text { 1 cups = } \dfrac{60}{13} \text { mins}$

Find time needed to prepare 32 1/2 cups of juice
$\text { 1 cups = } \dfrac{60}{13} \text { mins}$

$32 \dfrac{1}{2} \text { cups = } \dfrac{60}{13} \times 32 \dfrac{1}{2} \text { mins}$

$32 \dfrac{1}{2} \text { cups = } \dfrac{60}{13} \times \dfrac{65}{2} \text { mins}$

$32 \dfrac{1}{2} \text { cups = } 150 \text { mins}$

Convert mins to hours
$\text {Number of hours = } 150 \div 60$

$\text {Number of hours = } 2 \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\bf \text {Answer: Bobby needs } 2 \dfrac{1}{2} \text { hours to make } 32 \dfrac{1}{2} \text { cups of juice. }$
