Question

A bakery has 72 half gallons of milk.

It takes 1 2/3 cups of milk to make a cake. Note that 1 cup = 1/8 half gallon = 0.125 half gallon. How many cakes can the bakery make? Say 1,2,3,4 in your answer so that I know which option to choose. There’s no 346 option (a lot of people have been saying that answer.)

Answer 1

Bakery can make 576 cakes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of milk in bakery = 72 half gallon
Amount of milk needed to make cake =
1 2/3 = 1*3+2/3 = 5/3 cups.
1 cup = 1/8 half gallon = 0.125 half gallon.
Amount of milk need to make cake=
0.125* 5/3 = 0.208
half gallon.
Total cake made in bakery = 72/0.208 =
346 cakes.
So bakery can make 346 cakes.
