Question

Jose is baking cakes. He needs 3/4 of butter for each cake. One stick of butter is a 1/2 of a cup. How many sticks do he need to bake 8 cakes?

Answer 1

Answer: 6 sticks

Explanation:

Given

Joe needs
`(3)/(4)` butter for each cake

One stick of butter is equivalent to 0.5 cup

So, joe need

`(3)/(4)* (1)/(2)=(3)/(8)\ \text{cup}`

for each cake

To bake 8 cakes, it is

`\Rightarrow (3)/(4)* 8=6\ \text{sticks}`
