Question

A baker buys 7 cups of strawberries to make a cheesecake and 8 equal batches of muffins. The baker uses 3 cups of strawberries to make a cheesecake. How many cup(s) of strawberries does the baker use for each batch of muffins?

Answer 1

1/2 because the baker has 4 cups of strawberries after they make the cheesecake and the 4 cups divided between the 8 batches would equal 1/2 cup of strawberries in each batch
