First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2

RSB [31]

Answer:

a) 22 batches

c) 7.3 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

a) It takes 0.25 cup of sugar to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. I have 5.50 cups of sugar. How many batches of cookies can I make?

0.25 cup = 1 batch

5.5 cup = x

Cross Multiply

0.25 cup × x = 5.5 cup × 1 batch

x = 5.5 cup × 1 batch/0.25 cup

x = 22

I can make 22 batches of chocolate chip cookies. You may use the scratchpad to show your work.

(b) Lemon Cookies It takes 0.75 cups of sugar to make a batch of lemon cookies. I have 5.5 cups of sugar. How many batches can I make?

0.75 cup = 1 batch

5.5 cup = x

Cross Multiply

0.75 cup × x = 5.5 cup × 1 batch

x = 5.5 cup × 1 batch/0.75 cup

x = 7.3 batches

I can make 7.3 batches of lemon cookies. You may use the scratchpad to show your work.
