Question

SuLee uses 1/2 pound of beans to make one batch of chili. Write and simplify a complex fraction to represent the number of batches of chili SuLee can make if she has 2 pounds of beans

Answer 1

Answer:

4 batches of Chili

Step-by-step explanation:

SuLee has a total of 2 pounds of beans

If she uses 1/2 pound of beans to make one batch of chili

The number of batches of chili she can make =

$\frac{Total}{Quantity Required for One Batch} = 2 \div \frac{1}{2} = 2 X 2 =4$

NOTE: If you have division sign in between two fractions, you can change the division to multiplication by inverting the second fraction

$2 \div \frac{1}{2} = 2 X \frac{2}{1} =4$
