Jeffery is making cookies to sell at the school fair. For one dozen cookies, he needs 2 and 1/4 cups of flour. If he has 33 and 3/4 cups of flour, how many dozen cookies can he make? How many total cookies can he make?
He can make 180 cookies. To find this, you change 2 1/4 and 33 3/4 into improper fractions. Then you divide 135/4 by 9/4, which gives you 15 dozens cookies. To find the exact number of cookies, you multiply 15 times 12, which gives you 180 cookies.
