+30 Ursula has 1/2 cup of butter. She uses 1/4 cup of butter to make a batch of brownies.
Part A: How many batches of brownies can Ursula make with 1/2 cup of butter? (4 points)
Part B: On your own paper, draw a fraction model that shows the total number of batches of brownies that Ursula can make with 1/2 cup of butter. Make sure to label the model. Below, explain your model in detail to describe how this model visually shows the solution for Part A. (6 points)
+140 She will be able to make 2 batches of brownies.If she has 1/2 cup of butter and the brownies take 1/4 cup,
we just need to see how many 1/4 are in 1/2.
This is a division problem.Therefore, we have 1/2 / 1/4
To do this, we multiply 1/2 by 4 and get 4/2 or just 2.
For your model, you could divide a square into 4 parts and show that it takes 2 of the 1/4 parts to make a 1/2.
