Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Add the fractions
One way you can solve this problem is by adding the fractions
1/4 + 1/6 + 5/12
1(3)/4(3) + 1(2)/6(2) + 5/12
3/12 + 2/12 +5/12
10/12
2. Multiply by 48
10/12 * 48( to find the amount of cupcakes)
40
3. Subtract
Now that we know the total number of cupcakes excluding the lemon is 40, we can do 48 - 40 , which is 8 cupcakes or C
