<h3>Answer:  5 cakes</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Let's start off converting the mixed number 12 & 1/4 to an improper fraction.

a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12*4+1}{4}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{49}{4}\\\\

Do the same for the other mixed number 2 & 1/3.

a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2*3+1}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}\\\\

-----------------------

From here, we divide the two fractions. I converted them to improper fractions to make the division process easier.

\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49}{4} \times \frac{3}{7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 7\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 3}{4}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{21}{4}\\\\

The last step is to convert that result to a mixed number.

\frac{21}{4} = \frac{4*5+1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = \frac{4*5}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = 4+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{4}\\\\

Note that 21/4 = 5.25 and 1/4 = 0.25 to help check the answer.

-----------------------

Therefore, she can make 5 cakes. The fractional portion 1/4 is ignored since we're only considering whole cakes rather than partial ones.

The key word for this is "both". So we need to add here. Lets add:-

78 + 45 = 123

So, Ashley and Devin together found 123 rocks.

HELP ASAP<br><br><br>What is the ratio 25 to 65 written as a fraction in lowest terms?​
alekssr [168]

The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 25 and 65 is 5. So, we can divide both numbers by 5.

25 / 5 = 5

65 / 5 = 13

Now, put it into a fraction.

5/13

This cannot be simplified any further.

Best of Luck!
