Answer 2

Hello! :)

Answer:

No, there is not enough oatmeal to make 21 batches of cookies.

Explanation:

Let's start off by converting 2 $\frac{\\3}{4}$ to an improper fraction.

2 $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{11}{4}$

Next, divide the total number of cups by how many cups each batch requires.

$\frac{56}{1}$ ÷ $\frac{\\11}{4}$

$\frac{56}{1}$ × $\frac{4}{11}$ = $\frac{224}{11}$

Lastly, convert this fraction to a decimal.

$\frac{224}{11}$ = 20.7 (rounded)

This means that there is not enough for 21 batches.
