Question

OK Google let me tell you my question three friends are baking cupcakes for a bake sale each batch of 24 cupcakes requires 2 cups of flour the friends have a single 5 lb bag of flour that contains 19 cups of flour how many whole batches of cupcakes can they make?

Answer 1

btw my name is not Google, but I'll post anyhow.

if all three friends only have 5lbs of flour only and therefore only 19 cups of flour, well, each batch takes up 2 cups of flour and they only have 19 cups, 19/2 gives us 9 with a remainder of 1.

so 9 whole batches.
