A factory uses 1/6 of a barrel of raisins in each batch of granola bars. Yesterday, the factory used 1/2 of a barrel of raisins. How many batches of granola bars did the factory make yesterday? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

The factory made 3 batches of granola bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1/6 barrel of raisins is used in each batch of granola bars.

1/6 barrel = 1 batch

1/2 barrel = x batches

As the relationship is proportional,

1/6 : 1 :: 1/2 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

Multiplying both sides by 6

Hence,

The factory made 3 batches of granola bars.

question:

could we have options?

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
