Question

Cynthia is baking cakes for her cateringcompany. Each cake requires 2 and 1/3cups of flour. Cynthia has a total of 43 and3/4 cups of flour.How many cakes can Cynthia bake?

Answer 1

18 cakes

Explanation:

In this case, what we must do divide the total value by the amount that each cake requires, just like that

`\begin{gathered} 43(3)/(4)=(175)/(4) \\ 2(1)/(3)=(7)/(3) \\ \text{Therefore} \\ ((175)/(4))/((7)/(3))=(175\cdot3)/(4\cdot7)=(75)/(4)=18.75\cong18 \end{gathered}`

Since it is not enough to bake all 19 cakes, the correct answer would be 18 cakes
