Like I just don't understand why would it be 5 4/5

Answer 14

all u had to do was divide total amount by amount per serving
14.5/2.5=4.8

Answer 15

Oh...Well I feel stupid.

Answer 16

Oh it gave me an explanation Next, divide the total cups of flour by the number of cups in one dozen muffins. Remember, dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. The units of the fraction will also flip.
