Sharon wants to make cookies for her class bake sale. She found a recipe that calls for 2/3 cups of flour for each batch of cookies. How many batches can she make using 12 cups of flour?

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 12 and 2 by 3 to get the "easier to work with" fraction

=

Now, multiply two until you get 36

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36

It takes 18 times to get to 36.

That means the answer is 18.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
