how many batches does he make?

glitterychan · Answer

Convert 2 1/3 to an improper fraction. Since there are two wholes and one third we will get 7/3. Next, multiply this by 5, but in this case make it 5/1 to keep it all as fractions. Hope this helps.

yes. do what he said:)

glitterychan · Answer

In simplest form, you would simply have to convert your final fraction answer (you should get 35/3) to a mixed number which should get you 11 2/3.
