Question

at a certain point to five cups of sugar to make a batch of chocolate cookies I have 5.50 cups of sugar how many batches of cookies can I make turn the question and the answer in fractions

Answer 1

Let be "b" the number of batches of chocolate chips cookies that you can make with 5.50 cups of sugar.

According to the information given in the exercise, you need 0.25 cups of sugar to make a batch of chocolate chips cookies. Knowing this, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{0.25}=\frac{b}{5.50}$

Now you need to solve for "b" in order to find its value, as you can see below:

$\begin{gathered} 4=\frac{b}{5.50} \\ \\ (4)(5.50)=b \\ \\ b=22 \end{gathered}$

Since you need it in fraction form, you can write 1 as the denominator:

$b=\frac{22}{1}$

The answer is:

$=\frac{22}{1}$
