Question

A cake recipe requires 2/3 of an ounce of baking powder. How many cakes can be made from a package containing 50 ounces of baking
powder?

Answer 1

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 50 by 2/3. Division is the same as asking "how many times can i subtract 2/3 from 59?"

$50 \div \frac{2}{3}$

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal.

$50 \times \frac{3}{2} = 75$

You can subtract 2/3 from 50, 75 times
