Sandy uses 2/7 of a pound of raisins in each batch of raisin bread.
Yesterday, Sandy used 5/7 of a pound of raisins.
How many batches of raisin bread did
Sandy make yesterday?
(5/7) / (2/7)
(5/7) * (7/2) = 35/14 = 2 1/2 batches
How do you write that in a grid? I know the answer but I don't know how to write it in a grid.
To find out how many batches of raisin bread Sandy made yesterday, we need to divide the total amount of raisins Sandy used yesterday (5/7 pound) by the amount of raisins used in each batch (2/7 pound).
So, we need to perform the following division calculation:
(5/7 pound) ÷ (2/7 pound)
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
(5/7 pound) ÷ (2/7 pound) = (5/7 pound) * (7/2 pound)
When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators (the top numbers) and the denominators (the bottom numbers):
(5/7 pound) * (7/2 pound) = (5 * 7) / (7 * 2) = 35 / 14
Now, we can simplify this fraction:
35 / 14 = 5/2
So, Sandy made 5/2 batches of raisin bread yesterday.
To find the number of batches of raisin bread that Sandy made yesterday, we need to divide the total weight of raisins used (5/7 of a pound) by the weight of raisins used in each batch (2/7 of a pound).
First, let's subtract the total weight of raisins used (5/7 of a pound) from the weight of raisins used in each batch (2/7 of a pound) to find how many times the weight of raisins used in each batch fits into the total weight of raisins used.
(5/7) - (2/7) = 3/7
Now, let's divide the total weight of raisins used (3/7 of a pound) by the weight of raisins used in each batch (2/7 of a pound).
(3/7) ÷ (2/7) = 3/7 × 7/2 = 3/2 = 1 1/2
Therefore, Sandy made 1 1/2 batches of raisin bread yesterday.
