A bakery orders 6 1/2 pounds of gluten-free flour. Each gluten-free cake uses 3/4 pound of the special flour. How many full cakes can the bakery make from this order? Your answer should be a whole number.(1 poin
To find out how many full cakes the bakery can make, we need to divide the total amount of gluten-free flour by the amount used per cake.
6 1/2 pounds is equivalent to 6 + 1/2 = 6.5 pounds.
3/4 pound is the amount of flour used per cake.
Dividing 6.5 by 3/4 will give us the number of full cakes we can make.
6.5 / (3/4) = (6.5 * 4) / 3 = 26 / 3 ≈ 8.6666666666666667.
Since we want the answer to be a whole number, we can round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the bakery can make 8 full cakes from this order.
