Answer:

12.115 ounces of batter

Explanation:

Isaac made 2 quarts and 1 cup of cupcake batter.

We will convert the amount into ounces

1 quart = 32 ounces

2 quarts = 32 × 2 = 64 ounces

1 cup = 8.115 ounces

∴ 2 quarts and 1 cup = 64 + 8.115 = 72.115 ounces

To make one cupcake Isaac needs the amount of batter = 6 ounces

He is making 10 cupcakes, so he would be needed = 10 × 6 = 60 ounces

He has 72.115 ounces of batter and he would be needed 60 ounces

The left over batter = 72.115 - 60 = 12.115 ounces.

12.115 ounces batter would be left over.
