Eugene's grandmother is teaching him how to make her salsa recipe. Each batch of salsa requires 1/4 of a cup of red onions. If they have 1 1/2
cups of red onions, how many batches of salsa can they make?
(Enter all mixed numbers as x y/z.)
6 batches: I'm to sleepy to explain right now.
thanks rose
ya thank u
To find out how many batches of salsa Eugene and his grandmother can make, we need to divide the total amount of red onions they have by the amount required for each batch.
Given that they have 1 1/2 cups of red onions, we need to convert this mixed number into an improper fraction.
1 1/2 = (1 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2
Now, we can divide the total amount of red onions (3/2 cups) by the amount required for each batch, which is 1/4 cup.
(3/2 cups) / (1/4 cup) = (3/2) * (4/1) = (3 * 4) / (2 * 1) = 12/2 = 6
Therefore, Eugene and his grandmother can make 6 batches of salsa.
