Right.
3. She can make 5 1/3 batches.
Let's go through each question and check your answers:
1. The movie theater has 21 cups of popcorn. Each container holds 3/4 cup of popcorn. To find out how many containers the theater can sell before running out of popcorn, divide the total amount of popcorn (21 cups) by the amount of popcorn each container can hold (3/4 cup).
21 cups ÷ (3/4 cup) = 28 containers
Your answer of 28 containers is correct!
2. A sixth of the vegetable plants in a garden are tomatoes. If there are 192 plants in total, to find out how many are tomato plants, we need to multiply the total number of plants by the fraction representing the proportion of tomato plants.
192 plants × 1/6 = 32 tomato plants
Your answer of 32 tomato plants is correct!
3. Christina has 4 cups of butter, and she needs 3/4 cup of butter for each batch of cookies. To determine how many complete batches she can make, divide the total amount of butter by the amount needed for each batch.
4 cups ÷ (3/4 cup) = 16 batches or 4 cups ÷ (3/4 cup/batch) = 5 1/3 batches
Both answers, 16 batches or 5 1/3 batches, are correct. However, it's important to note that if Christina can only make whole batches, 16 would be the appropriate answer.
Great job! Your answers are correct for all three questions.
