Final answer:

By converting 14 1/3 cups to an improper fraction and dividing by the amount needed for one muffin, it's found that the baker can make 71 whole blueberry muffins.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many blueberry muffins can be made with 14 1/3 cups of blueberries if each muffin requires 1/5 cup of blueberries. To solve this, we first convert 14 1/3 cups to an improper fraction: (14 × 3) + 1 = 43, so we have 43/3 cups. Next, divide the total amount of blueberries by the amount needed for one muffin:
43/3 ÷ 1/5 = 43/3 × 5/1

= 215/3

= 71 2/3

This means the baker can make 71 whole muffins with a little blueberries left over.
