Answer:
Number of batches of soup = 8 2/3 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
Each batch of soup = 3/4 pounds of potatoes
Total pounds of potatoes available = 6 1/2 pounds
How many batches of soup did Monique make?
Number of batches of soup = Total pounds of potatoes available / Each batch of soup
= 6 1/2 pounds ÷ 3/4 pounds
= 13/2 ÷ 3/4
= 13/2 × 4/3
= (13 * 4) / (2 * 3)
= 52/6
= 8 4/6
= 8 2/3
Number of batches of soup = 8 2/3 batches
