To solve this problem, we need to determine how many batches of salad dressing we can make with a given amount of olive oil. Let's break down the steps:
1. Identify the total amount of olive oil available:
- We have 10 cups of olive oil.
2. Identify how much olive oil is needed for one batch of salad dressing:
- Each batch of the salad dressing requires 1 cup of olive oil.
3. Calculate the number of batches:
- To find out how many batches we can make, we divide the total amount of olive oil by the amount needed for each batch.
- Therefore, we perform the division [tex]\( 10 \text{ cups} \div 1 \text{ cup per batch} \)[/tex].
4. Divide the numbers:
- Performing the division, [tex]\( 10 \div 1 = 10 \)[/tex].
5. Simplify the answer:
- The result from the division is 10, which is already in its simplest form since it is a whole number.
So, with 10 cups of olive oil, you can make 10 batches of your favorite salad dressing.
