Answer: He can make 16 batches of cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: . To make cookies, Joshua needs[tex]1\dfrac18[/tex] cups of flour per batch of cookies.
i.e. 1 Batch requires =[tex]1\dfrac18[/tex] cups of flour
=[tex]\dfrac{9}{8}[/tex] cups [convert mixed fraction to improper fraction.]
Now if 1 batch = [tex]\dfrac{9}{8}[/tex] cups (i)
Then, 1 cup = [tex]\dfrac{8}{9}[/tex] batch. (ii) [Multiply (i) by [tex]\dfrac{8}{9}[/tex] ]
Joshua has 18 cups of flour.
That means , 18 cup = [tex]18\times\dfrac{8}{9}=2\times8=16[/tex] batch. [Multiply (ii) by 18]
∴ He can make 16 batches of cookies.
