Answer:

17 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to divide 13 by 3/4

Why need to divide?

If it takes one cup of oil to make a batch of popcorn, then it will take 2 cups for 2 batches, 3 cups for 3 batches, and so on. If they ask how many batches can be made with 13 cups of oil, we divide by 1.

Please note that what is given above is an example

Now, coming to the actual sum:

13 ÷ 3/4

= 13 × 4/3

= 52/3

= 17 1/3
