Question

A restaurant used 8 1/4 pounds of carrots to make 6 carrot cakes. Frank wants to use the same recipe. How many pounds of carrots does Frank need to make one carrot cake?

Answer 1

Answer:

To make one carrot cake 1 pound(approximately) carrot needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

8 1/4=33/4 pounds of carrots used to make 6 carrot cakes.

So, to get one carrot cake:

6 carrot cakes need = $\frac{33}{4}$

1 carrot cake need =  $\frac{33}{4}$ ÷ $6$

                               = $\frac{33}{24}$

                               = $1.375\ pound$

Therefore, to make one carrot cake 1 pound(approximately) carrot needed.
