Cindy was making desserts for a bake sale. She had 24 cups of sugar to work with. She used 3/4 of the sugar to make pies. She used the remaining sugar to make giant cookies. If each giant cookie needed 3/5 of a cup, how many cookies could Cindy make?

Answer:

she had 23 and 1/4 cups of sugar left to make the cookies.

93/4 is the improper fraction of that.

[tex]\frac{93}{4} / \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

the lowest common multiple is 20, so convert the fractions to have common denominator

[tex]\frac{465}{20} / \frac{12}{20}[/tex]

divide the numerators and you have your answer

38.75 cookies
