Question

A recipe requires 3/4 cups of nuts for 1 cake. Enter the maximum number of cakes that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts

Answer 1

10 cakes can be made

Explanation:
Convert 7 1/2 to an improper fraction
15/2 divided by 3/4
Flip the second fraction and multiply instead of divide
15/2 x 4/3
multiply the tops: 15 x 4 = 60
Over the bottoms multiplied together 2x3=6
60/6=10
therefore 10 cakes can be made
