Answer:
42 eclairs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of eclairs.
We have been given that each eclair requires 2.25 ounces of filling. So amount of cream needed for x eclairs would be [tex]2.25x[/tex].
Let us convert 12 cups to ounces.
1 cup = 8 oz
12 cups = 8*12 oz = 96 oz
Now, we will equate amount of cream needed for x eclairs with 96 as:
[tex]2.25x=96[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.25:
[tex]\frac{2.25x}{2.25}=\frac{96}{2.25}[/tex]
[tex]x=42.666[/tex]
Since we cannot make 0.666 of one eclair, therefore, you can make at-most 42 eclairs.
