Dani has only 1/2 of a cup of baking mix. She needs 3/4 of a cup for one batch of muffins.

Question

Which solution shows how much of a batch of muffins Dani can make

2/3

1/4

3/2

3/8

Answer 1

To determine how many batches of muffins Dani can make, we need to find the number of batches for which she has enough baking mix.

We can set up the equation: (1/2) * x = 3/4, where x represents the number of batches.

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 1/2, which is 2/1:

(1/2) * (2/1) * x = (3/4) * (2/1)

x = 6/4

Simplifying 6/4 gives us 3/2.

Therefore, Dani has enough baking mix for 3/2 or 1 1/2 batches of muffins.

The correct solution is 3/2.
