Answer 1

5

Answer 2

[12.5/(23/6)] = 3.25

Therefore you can only make 3 capes.

Answer 3

How did you get 5?

Answer 4

3(5/6)=2.5
2.5*5=12

Answer 5

I thought 3 5/6 was a mixed fraction. That is not clear.

Answer 6

Oh you are mostprobably correct

Answer 7

thank you

Answer 8

\[\frac{12+\frac{1}{2}}{3+\frac{5}{6}}=\frac{\frac{25}{2}}{\frac{23}{6}}=\frac{25}{2}*\frac{6}{23}=\frac{150}{46} \]\[\text{Floor}\left[\frac{150}{46}\right]=3\text{ capes} \]
