A baker uses 3/4 cup of honey in one of his cakes. There are 60 calories in 1/8 cup of honey. How many cups of honey will the baker use for 15 cakes.

One part of the question doesn't matter, which is "There are 60 calories in 1/8 cup of honey" because he is asking how much cups of honey will be used in 15 cakes.
If 1 cake uses 3/4 cups of honey, we should multiply 3/4 by 15, in order to get 11 1/4 (Which is 45/4 as a fraction, or 11.25 as a decimal.0

I hope this helps! :>
