If Monique used a total of 6 1/2 pounds of potatoes and each batch required 3/4 of a pound of potatoes, then you have to divide the total amount of pounds by an amount of pounds needed for one batch:
[tex]6\dfrac{1}{2}:\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{13}{2}\cdot \dfrac{4}{3} =\dfrac{26}{3}=8\dfrac{2}{3}.[/tex]
Answer: [tex]8\dfrac{2}{3}.[/tex]
