Question

Amanda uses 1/3 of a cup of milk each time she makes a batch of pancakes. How manybbatches can she make if she only has 11/22 of a cup of milk left?

Answer 1

Answer:

Amanda can make 1.5 or 3/2 of batches of pancakes with 11/22 of a cup of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us for answering the question correctly:

Amount of milk Amanda use for a batch of pancakes = 1/3 cup

2. How many batches can she make if she only has 11/22 of a cup of milk left?

Let's simplify 11/22, dividing by 11 the numerator and the denominator,

11/22 = 1/2

Now, using the Rule of Three Simple, we can calculate the answer to this question, this way:

Number of batches = (1/2 * 1)/1/3

Number of batches = 1/2 / 1/3

Number of batches = 1/2 * 3/1 (Taking the reciprocal)

Number of batches = 3/2 = 1.5

Amanda can make 1.5 or 3/2 of batches of pancakes with 11/22 of a cup of milk.
