Answer 2

25 sheets

Explanation:

Each sheet cake requires 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of sugar.

A bakery has 75 cups of flour and 75 cups of sugar.

Each sheet needs flour = 3 cups

75 cups of flour can make sheet =
`(75)/(3)`

= 25 sheets

for 25 sheets we need sugar = 25 × 2 = 50 cups of sugar

There are more amount of sugar than we need.

Therefore, 25 sheets can be made by 75 cups of flour.
