Question

Mrs. O'Neill has 9/4 lb of strawberries if each batch of muffins requires 1/2 lb of strawberries how many batches of muffins can she make provide step by step directions on sticky notes on step equals one sticky note

Answer 1

we need to solve the equation:

$\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{9}{4}$

then

$x=\frac{18}{4}=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$

then mrs. o'neill can do 4.5 batches of muffins.
