1 cake alone needs 6 cups.

2 2/3 = 8/3 = 16/6 cups.

1/2 = 3/6 cups.
For one cake, 19/6 cups flour needed
Henry has 570/6 (=95cups flour)
If you divide 570 by 19 Henry can make 30 cakes

Answer:

30 cakes

Explanation:

For one cake alone, find a common denominator (which is 6). So
2(2)/(3) (
(8)/(3)) is equal to
(16)/(6) cups.
(1)/(2) is
(3)/(6) cups.

So for one cake, it takes
(19)/(6) cups of flour. Henry has
(570)/(6) = 95 cups of flour.

If you divide the 570 by 19, Henry can make 30 cakes.
