Respuesta :

7.5/.75 = 10

You can make 10 cakes with 7.5 cups of nuts. 

The maximum number of cakes that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts = 10 cakes

Calculation of total number of cakes

The amount of nuts for one cake = 3/4

Therefore X number of cakes = 7 1/2

That is,

1 = 3/4

X= 7 1/2

Make X the subject of formula

X = 7 1/2 ÷3/4

X= 15/2 × 4/3

X = 5 × 2 = 10

Therefore, the maximum number of cakes that can be made using 7 1/2 cups of nuts = 10 cakes.
