Question

jess wants to make cupcakes. To make cupcakes, she needs 3 1/4 cups of flour per batch of cupcakes. If Jess has 57 cups of flour, then how many batches of cupcakes can she make?

Answer 1

5 is the most amount of batches jess can make with 57 cups of flour

Answer 2

To solve this, we have to divide 57 cups (the total amount she has) by 3.25 (the amount she needs per batch). When we do this, we get 17. 54, but we'll round down because Jess can't make 0.54 of a batch of cupcakes.
Your answer should be 17 batches. I hope this helps!
