First of all, you have to find the common difference between the numbers. That will be; 3/4-3/8=1 1/2-1 1/8 In the case of 1 1/2-1 1/8, the two whole numbers will subtract each other(1-1) That will leave you with 1/2-1/8 3/4-3/8=1/2-1/8 The common denominator in both cases is 8 In 3/4-3/8 Divide 8 by 4 and multiply by 3 which will be 6 Divide 8 by 8 and multiply by 3. That will be 3 So you have; 6-3/8 Which is 3/8 If you do the same to 1/2-1/8, you will still end up with 3/8 Next, to find the fraction required to make 6 batches, you need to add 3/8 to the last term to the last term 1 1/2+3/8 3/2+3/8=12+3/8 15/8. This is the fifth batch. Add 3/8 again to get the sixth batch 15/8+3/8=15+3/8 18/8 Which is 9/4 when divided. The sixth batch is 9/4 or 2 1/4 in mixed fraction Hope that helped. Have a nice day
