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?

x = 5.5 cup × 1 batch/0.75 cup
x = 7.3 batches
