Answer: Keith can make 10 batches of cupcakes.
Step-by-step explanation:
To make cupcakes, he needs 1 3/10 cups of flour per batch of cupcakes. Converting 1 3/10 cups of flour into improper fraction, it becomes 13/10 cups of flour.
Let x represent the number of batches of cupcakes that Keith can make If Keith has 13 cups of flour, . Therefore,
13/10 cups of flour = 1 batch of cupcakes
13 cups of flour = x batch of cupcakes
Cross multiplying, it becomes
13/10 × x = 13 × 1
13x/10 = 13
13x = 13 × 10 = 130
x = 130/13 = 10
