Answer 1

A Baker has 3/4 cup if sprinkles to spread on cupcakes. Each Cupcake needs 1/8 cup if sprinkles. How many cupcakes will have sprinkles?





1) 3 cupcakes



2) 4 cupcakes



3) 6 cupcakes



4) if it's not the first 3 its 4​

we know that

Each Cupcake needs 1/8 cup of sprinkles

so

1 cupcake -------> 1/8 cup of sprinkles

Applying proportion

Find out how much cupcakes for 3/4 cup of sprinkles

1/(1/8)=x/(3/4)

solve for x

x=(3/4)/(1/8)

x=(3*8)/(4*1)

x=6 cupcakes

therefore

the answer is the option 3
