Question

You plan to make cakes. Each cake requires 1 1/4 cup of sugar. You have 7 1/3 cups of sugar. How many cakes can you make

Answer 1

Approximately 6 cakes

Explanation:

You divide 7⅓ by 1¼ to get 5 13⁄15. Now, we have to do a little something called "interpret the remainder". You see how we ended up with a fraction in our result? Well, we interpret by rounding to the nearest whole, and the closest whole number to 5 13⁄15 is 6.

So, you can make six cakes at the most.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
