Elaine has 14 3/4 cups of flour. She divides the flour into equal portions of 2 7/8 cups. Which is the best estimate for the number of portions she can make?

Answer:
`= 5`

Solution:

`14 \frac { 3 } { 4 } / 2 \frac { 7 } { 8 } =`

`(\left(14* 4+3\right)* 8)/(4\left(2* 8+7\right))`

`(2\left(3+4* 14\right))/(7+2* 8)`

`(2\left(3+56\right))/(7+2* 8)`

`(2* 59)/(7+2* 8)`

`(118)/(7+2* 8)`

`(118)/(7+16)`

`(118)/(23)`

=
`5`

I evaluated it so the answer is= Letter B.
`5`
