Question

Rehna used 1/6 of a packet of flour to make some muffins and 1/4 of it to make a cake. She used the remainder to make some cupcakes. She used 1/12 of the packet of flour for each cupcake. How many cupcakes did she make?

Answer 1

Answer:

she made 7 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

let us consider that the packet contained x kg flour.

according to the question,

rehna used (x/6) kg  flour to make muffins.

she used (x/4) kg  flour to make  a cake

flour left= [x-(x/6+x/4)]kg= 7x/12 kg flour

if each cupcake required 1/12 of the packet of the flour which is equal to x/12 kg

then, she made (7x/12)/(x/12)= 7 cupcakes
