Question

Priya needs one and a half kg of cocoa powder to bake a cake. How many cakes can she bake with 15 kg of cocoa powder?​

• A. 10
• B. 13
• C. 6
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10

Converting into improper fraction:$1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(1\times 2+1)}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$
​
Total number of cakes she can bake = $\frac{15}{\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)}=15\times \frac{2}{3}=5\times 2=10cakes$
