Garnet has a container with 10 \(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour in it. She can make one dozen muffins with 2 \(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. How many dozens of muffins can Garnet make with the flour she has?
Answer (2)
Garnet can make 4 **dozens **of muffins given her total flour supply of 10 1/4 cups, as each dozen requires 2 1/4 cups of flour. A little bit of flour will be left over. ;
Garnet can make 4 dozens of muffins using her 10 4 1 cups of flour, as each dozen requires 2 4 1 cups. This calculation shows that she has some flour left over but not enough for another full dozen. Therefore, she will be able to bake 4 dozens and have a small amount of flour remaining.
