Question

Rita has 6 cups of frosting. She plans to use 2/3 of it to decorate cakes. How many cups of frosting will rita use to decorate cake?

Answer 1

She's going to use 2/3 of the frosting(6 cups) to decorate cakes. 'of' means multiplication. So we can multiply to figure it out:


`\sf(2)/(3)* 6`


`\sf(12)/(3)`


`\sf\boxed{\sf 4}`

So Rita will use 4 cups of frosting to decorate cakes.
