Answer:
24 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A small bottle of vanilla extract has 16 ounces in it.
To Find : if each batch of cookies baked requires 2/3 of an ounce of vanilla how many times can the bakery use the bottle before it is empty?
Solution :
No. of batch of cookies requires 2/3 ounce of vanilla = 1
No, of batch of cookies requires 1 ounce of vanilla = [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}}={\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]
No. of batches require 16 ounces of vanilla = [tex]\frac{3}{2} * 16[/tex]
= 24
Thus, bakery can use 24 times the bottle before it is empty.
