A baker has 134 cup of sprinkles to spread on cupcakes. Each cupcake needs 18 cup of sprinkles. How many cupcakes can the baker sprinkle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Cupcakes = 7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total\ Sprinkles = 134[/tex]

[tex]Sprinkle\ per\ cupcake = 18[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of cupcakes

To do this, we simply divide the total cups of sprinkle by the sprinkles per cupcake

[tex]Cupcakes = \frac{Total\ Sprinkles}{Sprinkle\ Per\ Cupcake}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Cupcakes = \frac{134}{18}[/tex]

[tex]Cupcakes = 7.44[/tex]

[tex]Cupcakes = 7[/tex] approximated

Hence, 7 cupcakes are needed
