◄) Supriya makes papadums to sell in her food truck. She uses 12 oz of dough to make each batch.
One day, Supriya has 75 oz of dough. How many full batches, b, of papadums can she make? First, write a multiplication equation for this situation.
12b = 75
How many full batches of papadums can Supriya make?
To find the number of full batches, b, of papadums that Supriya can make with 75 oz of dough, we can divide the total amount of dough by the amount of dough used in one batch.
Dividing 75 by 12, we get:
b = 75/12
Evaluating this expression, we find that Supriya can make approximately 6.25 full batches of papadums. Since we cannot have a fraction of a batch, Supriya can make 6 full batches of papadums.
