Question

A factory that makes granola bars uses 1/6 of a barrel of raisins in each batch.

Yesterday, the factory used 5/6 of a barrel of raisins. How many batches did the
factory make yesterday?

Answer 1

5 batches

Explanation:

Divide yesterday's batches by the usual.

(5/6)/(1/6) = 5

Since it only takes 1/6 to make a batch and they used 5x that we know they made 5 batches.

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

(5/6) / (1/6) = 5
