Question

Stella needs to make at least eight cakes for a bake sale. A chocolate cake requires 5 cups of flour and a fruitcake requires 3 cups of flour. She has almost 120 cups of flour. How many chocolate cakes can Stella make?

1) 20
2) 24
3) 25
4) 30

Answer 1

Stella can make 24 chocolate cakes with almost 120 cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of chocolate cakes Stella can make, we need to divide the total cups of flour she has by the number of cups of flour needed for a chocolate cake. Stella has almost 120 cups of flour, and each chocolate cake requires 5 cups of flour. So, the number of chocolate cakes Stella can make is 120/5 = 24. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2) 24.
