Kim has fraction 1 over 2 cup of almonds. She uses fraction 1 over 8 cup of almonds to make a batch of pancakes. Part A: How many batches of pancakes can Kim make with fraction 1 over 2 cup of almonds?

Answer

1/2 divided by 1/8 = 1/2 * 8/1 = 0.5 x 8 = 4 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

- we know she has 1/2 cup of almonds

-we know she uses 1/8 cup of almonds for every batch of pancakes

-we can ask ourselves, "how many 1/8 cups of almonds are in a 1/2 cup of almonds?"

-thats why we divide 1/2 by 1/8, to find out how many 1/8 cups are in 1/2
