Clayton uses 3/4 of a bottle of hot sauce for every batch of salsa he makes. Yesterday, he used 2 1/4 bottles of hot sauce. How many batches of salsa did he make?

Relax

Respuesta :

2 1/4 = 9/4 as an improper fraction.

Ignore the denominator; let's look at numerator.

3 x 3  = 9; 9 is a multiple of 3 by 3 times.

So, he made 3 batches of salsa.
