molds

Answer 1

Albert fills 12 molds with the gelatin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert makes 3 cups of gelatin and pours it into flower-shaped molds, each holding 1/4 of a cup of gelatin.

To find out how many molds Albert fills, we can divide the total cups of gelatin by the amount of gelatin each mold holds.

3 cups ÷ 1/4 cup/mold = 3 × 4/1 = 12 molds

Albert fills 12 molds.
