Question

Roger has 2 1/2 cups of peanut butter. A recipe for a loaf of bread requires 3/4 cups of butter. How many loaves of bread can he make?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 loaves of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

We must divide $2\frac12$ by $\frac34$ and take an integer part of this dividing.

$2\frac12:\frac34=\frac52:\frac34=\frac52\cdot\frac43=\frac{20}{6}=\frac{10}3=3\frac13$

The integer part of a mixed fraction $3\frac13$ is 3, and this is the answer.
