Question

Katya is baking cookies that require 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?

Answer 1

1 batch need = 8 1/2=17/2 gm vanilla paste

She had = 22 1/5=111/5gm vanilla paste

No. Of batches she can cook = 111/5÷17/2

=111/5×2/17

=2 52/85

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

We know that she needs around 8 1/2 grams of vanilla paste per batch which we can write as 17/2

And she has 22 1/5 grams vanilla paste so we can write it as 111/5

Now we will solve the question with these fractions

111/5 / 17/2 = 222/85

= 2^ 3/5

Which means she can bake around 2^3/5 batches of cookies with the provided material.
