Question

A restaurant used 8 1/4 pounds of carrots to make 6 carrot cakes. Frank wants to use the same recipe. How many pounds of carrots does Frank need to make one carrot cake?

Answer 1

To make one carrot cake 1 pound(approximately) carrot needed.

Explanation:

Given:

8 1/4=33/4 pounds of carrots used to make 6 carrot cakes.

So, to get one carrot cake:

6 carrot cakes need =
`(33)/(4)`

1 carrot cake need =
`(33)/(4)` ÷
`6`

=
`(33)/(24)`

=
`1.375\ pound`

Therefore, to make one carrot cake 1 pound(approximately) carrot needed.
