Amelie · Answer 1

10 cakes can be made

Explanation:

Convert 7 1/2 to an improper fraction

15/2 divided by 3/4

Flip the second fraction and multiply instead of divide

15/2 x 4/3

multiply the tops: 15 x 4 = 60

Over the bottoms multiplied together 2x3=6

60/6=10

therefore 10 cakes can be made
