Final answer:
To find out how many cheesecakes Victor can make, divide the total amount of cream cheese by the amount of cream cheese needed for each cheesecake.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many cheesecakes Victor can make, we need to divide the total amount of cream cheese he has by the amount of cream cheese needed for each cheesecake. Victor has 2 pounds of cream cheese and each cheesecake uses 2/3 pound of cream cheese. We can divide 2 pounds by 2/3 pound using the concept of division of fractions. When we divide a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
So, 2 pounds divided by 2/3 pound is equal to 2 times 3/2, which equals 6/2 or 3.
Therefore, Victor can make 3 cheesecakes using 2 pounds of cream cheese.
