According to Denise’s recipe, each batch of granola requires 1.75 cups of shelled sunflower seeds. She has 3 bags of shelled sunflower seeds that each contain eleven 14-cup servings. What is the maximum number of batches of granola that Denise can make with the sunflower seeds?

She has available 3 bags of 14 cups each, so she has
42 cups.

Each batch needs 1.75 cups, so the number of batches would be
42/1.75 = 24 batches
She has 3 bags, with each bag containing 11 14-cup servings.
So 3 x 11 x 14 = 462 cups
462 cups/1.75 cups per batch = 264 batches
Argggghh, I missed the 11
perhaps because it was written as words.
