. Ryan is making some homemade playdough for his students. The playdough recipe calls for 1 2 cup of salt. If Ryan has 2 2 3 cups of salt, how many batches of playdough could he make, assuming he used up all of his salt? Solve using a pictorial representation

Draw a picture of 2 2/3 cups of salt and mark Β½ cup for each recipe. You should show 4 recipes from 2 cups, and one more recipe from 2/3 with the remainder of 1/6 cup. Since you need 3/6 cup for one recipe but you have only 1/6 cup, this means you can make 1/3 recipe using 1/6 cup. Therefore the answer is 4+1+1/3 = 5 1/3 recipes; then write an equation that represents the story. 2 β…” Γ· Β½ = n or n x Β½ = 2 β…”
