Question

Suppose you are working as a pastry chef. You have 12 cups of chocolate cream to fill eclairs. Each eclair requires 2.25 ounces of filling. If you use all of the chocolate cream, at most how many eclairs can you make? A) 32 B) 36 C) 42 D) 44

Answer 1

Answer:

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

                 C) 42

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

C- 42

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 8 ounces in a cup so 12 x 8 = 96 oz

96/2.25 = 42.6666666667

Rounded back to 42
