a) Yes she has enough oil for 2 batches

b) 1/4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A recipe for 1 batch of cookies calls for 1/3 cup of oil. You have 3/4 cup of oil. Do you have enough oil for 2 batches of cookies?

1 batch of cookies = 1/3 cup of oil

2 batches = x

Cross Multiply

x = 2 × 1/3 cup of oil

x = 2/3 cup of oil will be needed for 2 batches

Subtracting 2/3 for 3/4

= 3/4 - 2/3

= 1/12 cup of oil is left

Yes she has enough oli for 2 batches
