Answer 1

Option (1)

Explanation:

Each cake requires cups of milk =
`1(1)/(2)` cups ≈ 1.5 cups

6 cakes will require milk = 6 × 1.5

= 9 cups

Anne has milk = 5 pints

∵ 1 pint = 2 cups

∴ 5 pints = 10 cups

Therefore, Anne has milk = 10 cups

Extra amount of milk Anne has = 10 - 9 = 1 cup

Hence, Answer is yes, she has enough milk. She will have 1 extra cup of milk.

Option 1 will be the answer.
