Solution

To find out how many batches of salsa Eugene's grandmother can make, we need to divide the total amount of red onions they have by the amount of red onions required for each batch.

They have 112 cups of red onions and each batch requires 1/4 cup of red onions.

So, we divide 112 by 1/4.

To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1, or simply 4.

So, 112 * 4 = 448

Therefore, Eugene's grandmother can make 448 batches of salsa with 112 cups of red onions.
