Answer 1

Answer:  1 3/4 cups of apples in each batch

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP  1

Writing out the equation to represent if 7 cups of  apples make 4 batches   One batch is as a result of how many  cups of apples

LET x be number of cups of apples to make each batch

7 cups of  apples = 4 Batches

        x cups of apples = 1 Batch

STEP 2  Solving by cross multiplication

1 batch x 7 cups of apples = 4 batches  X x cups of apples

x cups of apples=1 batch x 7 cups of apples / 4batches

x   = 7 / 4 =  1 3/4

number of cups of apples to make each batch=  1 3/4
