Hisaki is making sugar cookies for a bake sale he has 3 1/2 cups of sugar. The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for one batch of cookies how many total batches of sugar cookies can Hisaki make

Hisaki can make 4 2/3 batches of cookies with 3 1/2 cups of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be number of batches with 3.5 cups. (I've converted the fractions to decimals to simply calculation. Let me know if you want an explanation where I retain the fractions as-is.)

1 batch = 0.75 cup

x batches = 3.5 cups

-using unitary method-

(3.5 * 1) / 0.75 = x

4.66667 = x

Therefore, number of batches = x = 4 2/3 batches.
