Mrs. Claus wants to have a nice meal ready when Santa comes home. She wants to make waffles and she knows that he will be hungry. If each recipe requires ¾ cups of butter and she has 4 ½ cups of butter, how many waffle recipes can she make?

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Each recipe of waffles requires 3/4 cups of butter

Mrs Claus has 4 1/2 cups of butter

Therefore the number of recipes which she will be able to make can be calculated as follows

= 4 1/2 ÷ 3/4

= 9/2 ÷ 3/4

= 9/2 × 4/3

= 6

Hence Mrs Claus can make 6 recipes
