A potato chips manufacturing facility uses 1/6 of a barrel of oil in each batch. The facility used 2/3 of a barrel of oil yesterday. How many batches of potato chips did the facility make? A. 2/3 B. 1/4 C.2 D.4

Respuesta :

The answer is D. 2/3 = 4/6 4/6 divided by 1/6 = 4

Answer:

Option D. 4 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

A potato chips manufacturing facility uses 1/6 barrel of oil in each batch and we have to find the batches of potato chips manufactured in 2/3 of a barrel.

We will use unitary method to solve this question.

∵ [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] barrel is required to manufacture batch = 1

∴ 1 barrel is required to manufacture batches = 1 ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

∴ [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] barrel is required to manufacture batches = [tex](\frac{1}{\frac{1}{6}})(\frac{2}{3})=(\frac{6}{1})(\frac{2}{3})=6.\frac{2}{3}=4[/tex]

Therefore Option D.4 is the correct option.
