day with 18 pounds of flour, and one pound of flour equals four cups of flour, how much flour will Carly have left after she makes 4
cakes and 32 cupcakes?
OA. 65 cups
OB. 64 cups
OC. 32 cups
OD. 24 cups

Answer 1

OA. 65 cups is the answer

Answer 2

All things said, Carly needs 32 cups for compose her bakery items.

Explanation:

First, let' see how much flower in all would need to be used for the following delicacies, knowing she started with 72 cups of flower.

4 x 8 = 32 cups for the cake

4:16 = for only 16 cupcakes, so double it 8:32... 8 cups of flour.

Thus, 8+32= 40 & 72-40= 32

All things said, Carly needs 32 cups for compose her bakery items.

I hope this helped!!
