a cookie company uses 1/4 of a bag of flour in each batch of cookies it makes . if they used 10 bags of flour how many batches of cookies did they make

Answer 1

10/(1/4) = 40 batches of cookies

10 divided by 1/4 is the same as 10 times 4. Division is the same as multiplication if you flip the divisor upside down. 10/(1/4) = 10(4/1) = 10(4) = 4
