John wants to make brownies. To make brownies he needs 2/5 of a cup of flour per batch of brownies.if John has 2 cups of flour, then how many batches of brownies can John make?
2 / (2/5)
2 * (5/2) = 10/2 = 5
To find how many batches of brownies John can make, we need to divide the total amount of flour John has by the amount of flour required per batch.
First, let's determine the amount of flour needed per batch of brownies. John needs 2/5 (or 0.4) of a cup of flour.
Next, divide the total amount of flour John has (which is 2 cups in this case) by the amount of flour needed per batch.
2 cups of flour / 0.4 cups of flour per batch = 5
So, John can make 5 batches of brownies with 2 cups of flour.
