Final answer:

Jamel can make 8 full pans of lasagna with his 14 cups of cheese, as each pan requires 1 3/4 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking how many pans of lasagna Jamel can make with 14 cups of cheese, with each pan requiring 1 3/4 cups of cheese. To solve this, you need to divide the total amount of cheese by the amount required for one pan.

Step 1: Write down the total amount of cheese Jamel has: 14 cups.

Step 2: Each pan requires 1 3/4 cups of cheese. In decimals, 1 3/4 cups is the same as 1.75 cups.

Step 3: Divide the total cheese by the amount needed for one pan: 14 ÷ 1.75.

Step 4: Perform the division to find out how many whole pans of lasagna Jamel can make:

14 ÷ 1.75 = 8 pans (with no cheese left over)

Jamel can make 8 full pans of lasagna with the cheese he has.
