Janice has cups of flour. She makes 5 equal-sized portions from the flour.
She uses one of the portions to make crepes. Each crepe uses of a cup of flour.
How many crepes does Janice make?
A.3
B.15
C.1/3
D.75
To find the number of crepes Janice makes, we need to divide the total amount of flour she has by the amount of flour used in each crepe.
Let's calculate the amount of flour Janice has:
cups of flour =
Now let's divide the amount of flour Janice has by the amount of flour used in each crepe:
cups of flour ÷ of a cup of flour/crepe =
Therefore, the answer is crepes. So the correct answer is A.3.
To find the number of crepes Janice makes, we need to divide the total amount of flour by the amount of flour used per crepe.
Since Janice has cups of flour and she makes 5 equal-sized portions from the flour, each portion will have cups of flour.
To find the amount of flour used per crepe, we divide the portion size ( cups) by the number of crepes Janice wants to make:
cups ÷ 5 = cups
Now, we divide the total amount of flour ( cups) by the amount of flour used per crepe ( cups) to find the number of crepes:
cups ÷ cups =
Therefore, Janice can make 15 crepes.
Answer: B. 15
To find the number of crepes Janice makes, we need to divide the total amount of flour she has by the amount of flour used for each crepe.
First, we need to determine how much flour is in one portion. Since Janice has cups of flour and she makes 5 equal-sized portions, each portion must have cups of flour.
Next, we need to divide the amount of flour in one portion by the amount used for each crepe. Each crepe uses of a cup of flour.
So, the number of crepes Janice makes is given by:
( cups of flour) / ( of a cup of flour per crepe)
Dividing by , we get:
= cups of flour / (remaining fraction after dividing by )
= cups of flour × (reciprocal of , which is 5)
= cups of flour ×
= crepes
Therefore, Janice makes crepes.
The correct answer is A. 3 crepes.
