You have 12 cups of granola and 8 1/2 cups of peanuts to make trail mix. what is the greatest number of full batches of trail mix you can make?
trail mix recipe:
2 3/4 cups granola
1 1/3 cups peanuts
and show how to solve..

So for the granola, you divide 12 by 2.75 (2 3/4), and you get 4.36, but you can only make full batches, so its just 4. Then, for the Peanut, you divide 8.5 (8 1/2) by 1.3333 (1 1/3) and you get 6.4, so you round that to 6. But, you need the full recipe, so it can't be 6, because you only have enough granola for four batches. so the answer is four. Am I making any sense?
