Question

to make cookies you need 1/8 cups of sugar and you have 2 3/4 cups of sugar how many batches could you make?

Answer 1

I assume that you mean that you will need 1/8 cup for every batch.

Then if you have 2 and 3/4 cups of sugar, you can determine the number of batches you can make by dividing 2 3/4 by 1/8.

First convert 2 and 3/4 to an improper fraction: 11/4

Then divide by 1/8: 11/4 divided by 1/8

Recall that when you divide by a fraction, you will multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here the divisor is 1/8:

11/4 * 8/1 = 88 /4 OR 22

You can make 22 batches.
