Question

A baker bought 4 gallons oficing to decorate cakes. He uses 4 % cups

Answer 1

25 cakes can be completely decorated using 4 gallons of icing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4 gallons of icing

16 cups =1 gallon

No. of icing cups = $4\times16$ cups

       =64 cups

No. of cups required to decorate and frost a cake= 4% of total no. of icing cups

          = $\frac{(4\times64)}{100}$

          = 2.56

2.56 cups of icing is required to decorate each cake.

Maximum no. of cakes decorated = $\frac{ (64\times1)}{2.56}$

                    = 25

25 cakes can be completely decorated using 4 gallons of icing.
