Question

Dad is getting food ready for my birthday party! Including me, there will be 14 people at the party. Dad is baking cupcakes for us! He can bake 16 cupcakes per batch.

How many batches should I tell Dad to make so we can each have 5 cupcakes?

Answer 1

5 batches

Explanation:

fist to find how many cupcakes you need multiply the amount of people times amount of cupcakes per person

(if rule is 5 per person)

14x5=70

then you want to find how many batches to make

70/16=4.375

but you and make 0.375 batches so just make 1 more batch

so you should tell your dad to bake 5 batches
