Question

Carlos needs 2/3 cups of raisins to make one batch of oatmeal bars. How many cups of raisins does Carlos need to make 4 batches of oatmeal bars?

Answer 1

8/3 cups

Explanation:

Since he needs 2/3 cups for each batch, and he wants to make 4 batches, we can add 2/3 4 times, or multiply 2/3 times 4.

2/3+2/3+2/3+2/3=8/3

2/3*4=8/3

He needs 8/3 cups for 4 batches.

This can also be written as a mixed number: 2 2/3 cups
