Question

a cake recipe calls for 4 1/2 cups of sugar. a caterer has 50 1/2 cups of sugar on hand. how many cakes can he make?

Answer 1

11

Explanation:

You have to do 4 x the amount you know you can such as 10.

Then you have to multiply the 1/2 by that same number

So we'd get 4x10=40 and 1/2x10=5 to get 45

Then we add 45+4 1/2 = 49 1/2

They can make 11 cakes

Answer 2

11 cakes. he can make 11 cakes
