Mr. Landry, the owner of Blissful Bites Bakery, prepares 30 pounds of cake batter each morning. Mr. Landry uses half of the cake batter to make large cupcakes. If he makes 48 cupcakes, how many ounces of cake batter does he use for each cupcake?

5 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Landry prepares 30 pounds of cake batter each morning and he uses half of the cake batter to make large cupcakes.

This means that he uses 15 pounds of cake batter.

He makes 48 cupcakes with the batter.

Therefore, the number of pounds of batter he uses per cake is:

15 / 48 = 0.3125 pounds

We have to convert it to ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces

=> 0.3125 pounds = 16 * 0.3125 = 5 ounces

He uses 5 ounces of cake batter for each cake.
