Answer:

Explanation:

To find the number of cakes Kit can make, we need to divide the total amount of sugar (5 cups) by the amount of sugar required for each cake (3/4 cup).

5 ÷ 3/4 = (5 × 4/3) ÷ (3/4) = 20/3 ÷ 3/4 = 20/3 × 4/3 ÷ 3/4 = 20/3 ÷ 3/3 ÷ 4/4 = 20/3 ÷ 1 ÷ 4/4 = 20/3 ÷ 1 ÷ 1 = 20/3 ÷ 1 = 20/3= 6 2/3 cakes

So Kit can make 6 2/3 cakes. This fraction cannot be reduced further, so it is the final answer.
