I must come up with an maths model to solve this... Sally is baking some biscuits for a party. It takes 5/6 of a cup of mixture to make one batch. How many batches can she make out of cups of mixtures?
Should be how many batches can she make out of 10 cups of mixture
(5/6) * 10 = _______ batches
To solve this problem, you need to determine how many batches Sally can make by dividing the total amount of mixture by the amount needed for each batch.
Let's say Sally has "x" cups of mixture available.
To find the number of batches, we divide the total mixture by the amount needed for each batch:
Number of batches = x cups of mixture / (5/6 cups of mixture per batch)
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:
Number of batches = x cups of mixture * (6/5 cups of mixture per batch)
Now, we can simplify the expression:
Number of batches = 6x / 5
Therefore, Sally can make 6x/5 batches out of "x" cups of mixture.
Please note that "x" should be given to get the exact number of batches Sally can make.
