Q. Rob has found a recipe for Belgian waffles in his grandma's cookbook. He follows the recipe and makes 1231\frac{2}{3} cups of batter. Rob then makes 55 equal-sized waffles, one for each member of his family. How much batter does Rob use for each waffle? Use the model to help answer the question. Write your answer as a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number. \newline____ cups
  1. Calculate total batter: Calculate the total amount of batter and the number of waffles Rob needs to divide it into.\newlineRob has 1231\frac{2}{3} cups of batter and makes 55 waffles.\newlineConvert 1231\frac{2}{3} to an improper fraction: 123=(31+2)3=531\frac{2}{3} = \frac{(3\cdot1 + 2)}{3} = \frac{5}{3} cups.\newlineNow, divide 53\frac{5}{3} cups by 55 to find the amount of batter per waffle.\newline(53)/5=5315=515=13\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) / 5 = \frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3} cups per waffle.
