Question

ren is making walnut muffins. the recipe calls for $\frac{2}{3}$ cup of walnuts. ren has $2\frac{1}{3}$ cups of walnuts.he wants to know how many batches he can make.which division expression represents the number of batches ren can make?$2\frac{1}{3} div \frac{2}{3}$do you expect the quotient to be less than 1 or greater than 1?less than 1, because only part of $\frac{2}{3}$ fits into $2\frac{1}{3}$.greater than 1, because $\frac{2}{3}$ fits into $2\frac{1}{3}$ more than one time.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify correct division

To find batches, divide total walnuts by walnuts per batch: $2\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{2}{3}$

Step2: Compare dividend and divisor

$2\frac{1}{3} > \frac{2}{3}$, so quotient > 1. The correct reasoning is that $\frac{2}{3}$ fits into $2\frac{1}{3}$ more than once.

Answer:

1. $2\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{2}{3}$
2. Greater than 1, because $\frac{2}{3}$ fits into $2\frac{1}{3}$ more than one time.
