Given the statement:
Fabian harvests 10 pounds of tomatoes from his garden. He needs 225 pounds to make a batch of soup.
Determine how many batches of soup can Fabian make if he sets 2.8 pounds.
Solution:
Subtract 10 by 2.8 then divide the difference by 225.
= 10 pounds - 2.8 pounds
= 7.2 pounds
= 7.2 / 225
= 0.032 or 1/125
Final answer:
= 1 / 125 batch
