To find the number of batches of muffins that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts, you need to divide the total amount of nuts by the amount of nuts required per batch.
First, convert the mixed number 7 1/2 to an improper fraction.
7 1/2 = (2 * 7 + 1) / 2 = 15/2
Now, divide 15/2 by 3/4 to find the number of batches:
(15/2) ÷ (3/4) = (15/2) * (4/3)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(15/2) * (4/3) = (15 * 4) / (2 * 3) = 60/6
Simplify the fraction:
60/6 = 10
Therefore, using 7 1/2 cups of nuts, you can make 10 batches of muffins.
