A recipe calls for 5/8
pound of cheese per batch. Assuming you have enough of the other ingredients, how many batches of the recipe can you make with 5 pounds of cheese?

First, convert your fraction to a decimal (the answer is your proportion):
5/8 = .625
Second divide the total weight of the cheese by the amount used in each batch (the answer is the number of batches you can make):
5/.625 = 8
You can make 8 batches of the recipe.

In that case convert your total number of pounds into eights to make it easier to calculate. 5 pounds is equal to 40/8 pounds of cheese. Now divide this by 5/8. That equals 8. SO you can make 8 batches.03/19/19
