Answer:

The baker can decorate 2 cupcakes per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The baker can decorate 2 cupcakes per minute and to find this you would divide 61 by 30 and you'd get 2.03333 repeating but you can't decorate three hundredths of a cupcake so you would round it to the nearest whole number to get 2 cupcakes per minute
