Hannah is making chocolate chip cookies. The amount of brown sugar needed for each batch is 1 1/2. How many batches of cookies can she make if she has 7 1/2 cups of brown sugar?

Answer 1

5 maybe, I did 7 1/2 divided by 1 1/2 and got 5, so yeah, 5.

Answer 2

first you need to convert these fraction to improper fractions and then divide.
\[a \frac{ b }{ c }=\frac{ a*c+b }{ c }\]
\[1 \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]
\[7\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 15 }{ 2 }\]

now divide:

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 15 }{ 2 }/\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 15 }{ \cancel 2 }*\frac{ \cancel 2 }{ 3 }=5\]
