Question

I have 209.2 cups of cupcake batter in a bowl. If each cupcake uses 4 cups of batter, how many cupcakes can be made? How many times bigger do the divisor and dividend need to be in order to solve this problem?


I divided 209.2 by 4 and got an answer of 52.3 cupcakes. I just do not understand the last part of the question asking: "How many times bigger do the divisor and dividend need to be in order to solve this problem?"

Thank you!

I don't really understand it either. Possibly they are looking for the values that will not have a fraction of cupcake in the solution.
