Answer:

24 cupcakes

Explanation:

Jamir is making cupcakes for the potluck. Each cupcake requires 3/4 cups of batter. How many cupcakes can he make?

In the question, we are not given the number of cups batter for a potluck. So we can assume

1 potluck = 18 cups of batter

3/4 cups of batter = 1 cup cakes

18 cups of batter = x cup cakes

Cross Multiply

3/4 × x = 18 × 1

x = 18 ÷ 3/4

x = 18 × 4/3

x = 24 cup cakes
