A recipe requires 3 / 4 c ups of nuts for 1 batch of muffins how many batches of muffins can be made using 7 1 / 2 cups of nuts
To determine how many batches of muffins can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts, we need to find the number of batches that can be made with each cup of nuts and then divide the total cups by the cups needed for one batch.
Given that the recipe requires 3/4 cups of nuts for 1 batch of muffins, first, we need to find the number of batches that can be made with 1 cup of nuts.
1 cup / 3/4 cups = 1 * (4/3) = 4/3 batches
So, 1 cup of nuts can make 4/3 batches of muffins.
Now, we can find the number of batches that can be made with 7 1/2 cups of nuts:
7 1/2 cups * (4/3 batches per cup) = (15/2) * (4/3) = 30 / 6 = 5 batches
Therefore, using 7 1/2 cups of nuts, you can make 5 batches of muffins.
Let's use decimals rather than fraction.
Solve this proportion by cross multiplying and solving for x.
0.75/1 = 7.5/x
