Question

Henry is following the recipe card to make a cake. he had 95 cups of flour. how many cakes can henry make?

Answer 1

First, we add up the amount of flour needed for each cake by the equation,

    total flour needed = flour need for batter + flour needed for topping

Substituting,
   total flour needed = 2 2/9 cups + 1/2 cup = 49/18 cups

Then, we divide the total amount of flour by the answer obtained above to determine the number of cakes that can be made. 

    number of cakes = total amount of flour / total flour needed per cake
      number of cakes = 95 cups / (49/18) = 34.89 cakes

Hence, the number of cakes that can be produced is only 34.
