Question:

A factory uses 1/8 of a barrel of raisins in each batch of granola bars. Yesterday, the factory used 1/4 of a barrel of raisins. How many batches of granola bars did the factory make yesterday?

The factory made 2 batches of granola yesterday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our ratio from the question is given as:

1/8 barrel of raisins = 1 batch of granola

Hence: 1/4 barrel of raisins = x batches of granola.

Cross Multiply

1/8 × x = 1/4 × 1

x = 1/4 ÷ 1/8

x = 1/4 × 8/1

x = 2 batches of granola

Therefore, the factory made 2 batches of granola yesterday
