Answer 11

Well for the sugar
4 divided by 5/4
16/5
and for butter
7/4 divided by 1/2
7/2
Flour 3.333334 Sugar 3.2 Butter 3.5
Since the recipe will only work with integer forms consider the integer part of the ingredients
Flour 3 Sugar 3 Butter 3
This means you have enough flour sugar and butter to carry out the recipe three times
The recipe produces 15 cakes
Three times they will produce 45 cakes.
Hope this will help.
