Given the statement:
Isabella backed cookies for 3 hours. She spent the same amount of time baking each batch. It took her one eighth an hour to bake each batch.
Determine how many batches did Isabella made.
Solution:
In order to determine the number of batches that Isabella made, we simply need to divide 3 hours by 1/8, hence we must take note that if we divide a number with a fraction, we simply must take the reciprocal of the fraction which in our case is 8, and multiply it by 3.
= 3/ (1/8)
= 3 (8/1)
= 24
Final answer:
Isabella made 24 batches
