Katya is baking cookies that requires 8 1/2 grams of vanilla paste per batch. She has 22 1/5 grams of vanilla paste. How many batches of cookies can she bake?

Respuesta :

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. Let's express the quantities as improper fractions.

2. You have that she requires:

[tex]8^{\frac{1}{2} }=\frac{17}{2}[/tex] grams of vanilla paste per batch.

3.  And she has:

[tex]22^{\frac{1}{5} } =\frac{111}{5}[/tex] grams of vanilla paste.

3. Therefore, you must divide both quantities to solve the exercise and you can express the result as a mixed number.

[tex]\frac{\frac{111}{5} }{\frac{17}{2} } =\frac{222}{85} =2^{\frac{3}{5} }[/tex]

Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: She can bake [tex]2^{\frac{3}{5} }[/tex] batches of cookies.
