A batch of fertilizer requires 6 1/2 cups of powder to be mixed with water. A farmer wants a large area to be fertilized, so he uses 21 3/4 cups of powder. How many batches is this enough powder for?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 3 9/26 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

Use ratios to solve it:

  • 6 1/2 cups ⇒ 1 batch
  • 21 3/4 cups ⇒ x

x =  1*21 3/4 ÷ 6 1/2 =

      21 3/4 ÷ 6 1/2 =

      87/4 ÷ 13/2 =

      87/4 × 2/13 =

      87/26 =

      3 9/26
