Question

Carly works at a local bakery.she needs 5 cups of flour to make a cake and 6 cups of flour to make 16 cupcakes. She started the day with 18 pounds of flour and 1 pound of flour equals 4 cups of flour how much a flower will Carly have left after she make two cakes 16 cupcakes?

Answer 1

2 cakes require 10 cups of flour.

16 cupcakes will use 6 cups.

Add up the total to get 16 cups of flour used.

At 4 cups per pound, her 16 used cups of flour weigh 4 lbs. (16/4).

She used 4 lbs from the original 18 lb supply, so when she subtracted that 4 lbs from the 18 lbs she started out with, she discovered she has 14 lbs of flour left to make more goodies!
