Question

A cookie factory uses 5 3/4 bags of flour in each batch of cookies. The factory used 11 1/2 bags of flour yesterday. How many batches of cookies did the factory make?

Answer 1

5.75 bags=1batch

divide both sides by 5.75bags

1=1batch÷5.75bags

Multiply both sides by 11.5bags

11.5bags=11.5bags(1batch÷5.75bags) 

11.5bags=(11.5÷5.75)batches

2batches
