Ms. Ciervo is making cupcakes. She has 9 2/3 teaspoons of vanilla. Each cupcake needs to have -1/3 teaspoon of vanilla. How many cupcakes can she make?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number cupcakes Ms. Ciervo can make using the [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons of vanilla is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

  • Ms. Ciervo has [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons of vanilla.
  • Each cupcake needs to have [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] teaspoon of vanilla.

Compute the number cupcakes Ms. Ciervo can make using the [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons of vanilla as follows:

Amount of vanilla required for one cupcake = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] teaspoons

Total amount of vanilla available [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons.

[tex]\text{number of cupcakes}=\frac{\text{total amount}}{\text{amount required for 1 cupcake}}[/tex]

                               [tex]=\frac{9\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\=\frac{29}{3}\div\frac{1}{3}\\\\=\frac{29}{3}\times \frac{3}{1}\\\\=29[/tex]

Thus, the number cupcakes Ms. Ciervo can make using the [tex]9 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] teaspoons of vanilla is 29.
