Answer 1

Here it is given that a baker has 18 pounds of cake mix.

Also, to make one cake 1 / 8 pounds of cake mix is required.

We have to find out the total number of cakes that can be made by using 18 pounds cake mix

1/ 8 = 1 cake

18 pound = 18 × 8 cake

             = 144 cakes

Hence, 18 pounds of cake mix can be used to make 144 cakes.
