A recipe requires 3/4 cup of nuts for 1 cake.
Enter the maximum number of cakes that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts.
Keep adding 3/4 to 3/4 until you reach 7 1/2. Then count how many times you added and that will be your answer.
To find the maximum number of cakes that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts, we need to divide the total amount of nuts by the amount of nuts required for each cake.
First, let's convert the mixed number 7 1/2 to an improper fraction:
7 1/2 = 7 + 1/2 = 14/2 + 1/2 = 15/2
Now, divide the total amount of nuts by the amount of nuts required for each cake:
(15/2) ÷ (3/4) = (15/2) × (4/3)
To simplify this fraction multiplication, we cancel out the common factors:
(15 ÷ 3) × (4 ÷ 2) = 5 × 2 = 10
Therefore, the maximum number of cakes that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts is 10 cakes.
To determine the maximum number of cakes that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts, we need to find the number of cakes that can be made from each cup of nuts and then divide the total amount of nuts by the amount required for each cake.
The recipe requires 3/4 cup of nuts per cake.
To find how many cakes can be made from one cup of nuts, we divide 1 cup by 3/4 cup:
1 / (3/4) = 4/3 cakes
So, one cup of nuts can make 4/3 cakes.
To find how many cakes can be made from 7 1/2 cups of nuts, we multiply the number of cakes from one cup of nuts by the total amount of nuts:
(4/3) * 7 1/2 = 10 cakes
Therefore, the maximum number of cakes that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts is 10 cakes.
