To find the number of full cakes the bakery can make from the 6 1/2 pounds of gluten-free flour, we need to divide the total amount of flour by the amount used per cake.
The total amount of flour is 6 1/2 pounds, which can also be written as 13/2 pounds.
The amount used per cake is 3/4 pound.
To find the number of full cakes, we divide the total amount of flour by the amount used per cake:
(13/2) / (3/4) = (13/2) * (4/3) = 26/3
The bakery can make 8 whole cakes from this order.
