Answer: 15 cups of frosting
Step-by-step explanation:
Melia is making small cakes and each of them will take 1 1/4 cups of frosting.
If she has to make 12 cakes, the amount of frosting needed would be the 12 cakes multiplied by 1 1/4.
First convert 1 1/4 to an improper fraction = 5/4
= 12 cakes * 5/4
= 15 cups of frosting
4 donuts because you can change the denominator to 6 and get 4/6 and thats how you get 4
You can't convert it into a mixed number, you can only convert it when a number is more than 1.
