Question

Tamita is making popcorn balls. She has 18.5 ounces of syrup. The recipe says that each batch of popcorn balls needs 4 ounces of syrup. How many batches can she make?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total syrup made by Tamita = 18.5 ounces

Amount of ounces per batch = 4 ounces

If 1 batch = 4 ounces

x batches = 18.5 ounces

Cross multiply

4 * x = 18.5

x = 18.5/4

x = 4.625

Hence she can only make 4 batches of syrup
