Question

Kathy is baking cakes. Each cake requires 1/12 of a teaspoon of vanilla,and she has 3/4 of a teaspoon,how many cakes can she bake?

Answer 1

Explanation:

You want to find out how how 1/12 of a tsp go into 3/4 of a tsp so.......

You do 3/4 divided by 1/12 but when dividing fractions you flip over the second fraction and change the division operation to a multiplication operator so....

It will 3/4 x 12/1 and this will give you 36/4

36 divided by 4 is 9

So....

Kathy can bake 9 cakes.

Hope this helps!
