A recipe requires 1/3 cup of pineapples for 1 batch of smoothies. Enter the number of batches of smoothies that can be made using 2 2/3 cups of pineapples

Answer :

Given data:

The number of pineapple require for 1 batch is 1/3.

The given information can be written as,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{3}C=1B \\ 1C=3B \end{gathered}[/tex]

Multiplies the above expression by 2 2/3 on both sides.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{3}(1C)=\frac{8}{3}(3B) \\ \frac{8}{3}C=8B \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, eight batches are required.
