<h2>Answer:</h2>

By using all the chocolate cream, at most the number of eclairs that can be made is:

C) 42

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

You have 12 cups of chocolate cream to fill eclairs.

Each eclair requires 2.25 ounces of filling.

We know that:

The universal conversion that is used is:

1 cups=8 ounces

and hence,

12 cups= 12×8=96 ounces.

Hence, the number of ounces of chocolate cream to fill eclairs= 96 ounces

Also,

amount of filling required by 1 eclair= 2.25 ounces.

Hence, Number of eclairs that can be made is:

$Number\ of\ eclairs=\dfrac{96}{2.25}\\\\i.e.\\\\Number\ of\ eclairs=42.67$

This means that:

Atmost the number of eclairs than can be made= 42
