Question

Mary Jane made 140 cupcakes for the sixth grade classes at Oak School. She frosted 3 5 of the cupcakes with caramel icing, and the remaining cupcakes were frosted with vanilla icing. How many cupcakes had vanilla frosting?

Answer 1

56 bc 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 1/5 of it would be 28. Then, since you want 2/5, you multiply by 2 which is 56. Hope this helps!! :)
