Question

Kian is making cupcakes for a friend’s birthday. Each cupcake needs one fourth cup of frosting for the top. If Kian has 10 cups of chocolate frosting and 8 cups of vanilla frosting, how many cupcakes can he frost?

Answer 1

Kian can make 72 cupcakes with the amount of frosting they have

Explanation:

each cupcake requires 1/4 cup of frosting.

They have 10 cups of chocolate frosting and 8 cups of vanilla frosting,

Since each cupcake requires 1/4th cup of frosting, with 1 cup, they can make 4 cupcakes,

Hence with the 10 cups of chocolate frosting they can make, (10)(4) = 40 cupcakes

And with the 8 cups of vanilla frosting they can make (8)(4) = 32 cupcakes

In total they can make 40 + 32 = 72 cupcakes with the1 0 cups of chocolate frosting and 8 cups of vanilla frosting
