Question

Steve has 2 and one half cups of flour for one of his recipes requires one 8th cup of flour, what is the maximum number of times Steve can complete the recipe.

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is 20

Explanation:

Answer 2

20 times

Explanation:

We know that the recipe requires an eighth of a cup of flour (1/8 or 0.125) but in total Steve has 2 and a half, that is (2 1/2 or 2.5). To know the result we must divide the total amount by what is needed for 1 recipe, that is:

2.5 / 0.125 = 20

Which means that Steve with the flour he has can make the same recipe a total of 20 times
