Question

A recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to make a cake. You look in the stock room and see a bag of flour that has a tag that says This bag contains 25 cups of flour. How many complete cakes could you make from this bag of flour?

Answer 1

You can make a total of 12 complete cakes.

25/2 = 12

Answer 2

You can make twelve cakes because two times twelve is twenty four it said complete and you can’t make have of a cake or what you could have done is figure out if twenty five is odd or even if it is odd round down if it is even divide it by two.Assuming twenty five is odd you round down to the nearest even number to get twenty four and then you would follow the directions for the even number
