Answer: 1.4 cupcakes per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the correct question:

A baker decorates 42 cupcakes in 30 minutes. How many cupcakes can the baker decorate per minute?

Since the baker decorates 42 cupcakes in 30 minutes, the number of cupcakes that the baker decorates for each minutes since it's at a constant rate will be the total number of cupcakes made divided by the number of minutes. This will be:

= 42cupcakes / 30minutes

= 1.4 cupcakes per minute.

Therefore, the number of cupcakes that the baker can decorate per minute is 1.4cupcakes/minute
