Answer: 25


Step-by-step explanation: Flour: 75 divided by 3 equals 25. The sugar does not matter in this situation but there will be 25 cups of sugar left if you want to know. Hope this helps!

Answer:

25 sheets

Explanation:

Each sheet cake requires 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of sugar.

A bakery has 75 cups of flour and 75 cups of sugar.

Each sheet needs flour = 3 cups

75 cups of flour can make sheet =
(75)/(3)

= 25 sheets

for 25 sheets we need sugar = 25 × 2 = 50 cups of sugar

There are more amount of sugar than we need.

Therefore, 25 sheets can be made by 75 cups of flour.
