A chef has a favorite muffin recipe that uses 1/2 cup of blueberries for a whole batch. He has 3/4 cups of blueberries that he wants to use. Which equation can be used to solve for the number of batches of muffins, b, that the chef can make?

3/4 ÷ 1/2 = B
3/4 ÷ 2/1 = B
1/2 ÷ 3/4 = B
2/1 ÷ 3/4 = B

Xavier is solving a problem on the whiteboard as shown.
Part A. Is Xavier's solution correct? If not, identify where he made an error.
Part B. Solve 7950 divided by 25.

Answer 1

Solution 1 :

3/4 ÷ 1/2 = B

Solution 2 :

Quantity of trail mix with Monty = 3/4 pounds

Quantity of pounds he need to divide it into = 1/8

Number of trail mix bags Monty will have =

= 3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 × 8/1 ( division of fraction is multiplication with reciprocal )

= 24/4

We know that both 24 and 4 is divisible by 4 . Hence ,

= 24 ÷ 4 / 4 ÷ 4

= 6/1

= 6 bags

Therefore , Monty will have 6 bags of trail mix .

Solution 3 :

Quantity of food an elephant eats in 16 hours = 525 pounds

Quantity of food the elephant will eat in 1 hour = 525 ÷ 16

Quantity of food the elephant will eat in 1 hour = 32.8125 pounds = 33 pounds

Therefore , an elephant eats 33 pounds of food in 1 hour .

Solution 4 :

Number of tickets that can be purchased with $14 = 1 ticket

Number of tickets that can be purchased with $500 =

= 500 ÷ 14

= 35 tickets

Therefore , 35 tickets can be purchased with $500 .

Solution 5 :

Factors of 45 = 1 , 5 , 3, 9 , 15 and 45 .

Factors of 27 = 1 , 3 , 9 and 27 .

Their Greatest common factor = 9 .

Then , the sum of 45 and 27 can be written as :

9 ( 5 + 3 )

Therefore , Mr . Morris wrote = 9 ( 5 + 3 ) .

Solution 6 :

Total number of event flyers in a club = 4896

Total number of playerz in a club = 24

Then number of flyers each member of the club will get =

= 4896 ÷ 24

= 204

Therefore , each player will get 204 flyers .

Solution 7 :

Part A is not given .

Part B :

= 7950 ÷ 25

= 318

Therefore , 7950 ÷ 25 = 318 .
