Question

Monique made several batches of soup.

Answer 1

Answer:

8 batches

in workings show whats left over but not counted.

As a batch its a whole number as the multiplier will usually be the fraction

and fraction / fraction should always show fraction but the whole number given with a remainder can be shown if not a whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 1/2 = 6.5

and ;

3/4 of a pound = 0.75  of 1 pound

6.5 / 0.75 = 8.7         or in full workings write = 8.6666.....7

8.7/ 1 = 8 batches with 0.7 or 0.66667 left over

Answer In fraction for exam question given in fraction  8.7 = 8  batches

with  7/10 left over.
