Aunt carols peanut brittle recipe calls for 1/3 pound of peanut per batch.If she makes 8 batches how many pounds of peanuts will she use?
if it takes 1/3 pounds per batch, and you have 8 batches, then you just multiply (1/3) and 8 together. you would get 8/3 or 2 and 2/3 pounds
Answer: \(2\dfrac{2}{3}\text{ pounds}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Each batch of Aunt carols peanut brittle recipe calls for \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) pound of peanut.
Then , the amount of peanut require for 8 batches will be:-
\(8\times\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{8}{3}=2\dfrac{2}{3}\text{ pounds}\)
Hence, for 8 batches , she will use \(2\dfrac{2}{3}\text{ pounds}\) of peanuts.
