Answer :
Will uses a total of [tex]$\frac{3}{4}$[/tex] cup of olive oil to make 3 batches of salad dressing. To find the amount of oil used for one batch, we need to divide the total oil by the number of batches. This can be set up as:
[tex]$$
\text{oil per batch} = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{3}
$$[/tex]
Dividing by 3 is the same as multiplying by [tex]$\frac{1}{3}$[/tex]:
[tex]$$
\text{oil per batch} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}
$$[/tex]
Multiplying the fractions:
[tex]$$
\text{oil per batch} = \frac{3 \times 1}{4 \times 3} = \frac{3}{12}
$$[/tex]
The fraction [tex]$\frac{3}{12}$[/tex] simplifies to:
[tex]$$
\text{oil per batch} = \frac{1}{4}
$$[/tex]
Thus, Will uses [tex]$\frac{1}{4}$[/tex] cup of olive oil for one batch of salad dressing.
