Chef Daniel had 431 ounces of chocolate frosting in his refrigerator. It takes 8 ounces of frosting to frost one cupcake. How many cupcakes can he frost

53 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount of frosting and divide by the amount needed per cupcake

431/8

53.875

We round down since we cannot frost part of a cupcake

53 cupcakes

53 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

He has a total of 431 ounces and each cupcake needs 8 ounces of frosting. Therefore can divide the total amount of frosting (431 ounces) by the amount per cupcake (8 ounces)

total amount / amount per cupcake

431 ounces/8 ounces

431/8

53.875

0.875, or a fraction/part of a cupcake can't be frosted, so we should round down to the nearest whole number.

53

He can frost 53 cupcakes.
