Sue needs 2/1/3 cups of flour for a batch of cookies. How many complete batches can she make with 10 cups if flour?
10 / (7/3) = ?
To find out how many complete batches Sue can make with 10 cups of flour, we need to divide the total amount of flour by the amount needed for each batch.
Sue needs 2 1/3 cups of flour for each batch. To make it easier to work with, we'll convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.
2 1/3 = (2 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3
Now, we can divide 10 by 7/3:
10 / (7/3) = 10 * (3/7) = 30/7
To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator (30) by the denominator (7). The remainder will be the numerator for the fraction:
30 ÷ 7 = 4 remainder 2
So, Sue can make 4 complete batches with 2/7 cups of leftover flour.
In summary, Sue can make 4 complete batches of cookies with 10 cups of flour, leaving 2/7 cups of flour as leftovers.
