Question

Jada is making fig cakes for the GACA picnic. For every 2 cakes she makes, she needs 5 eggs. How many eggs will she need if she wants to make 8 cakes?

Answer 1

Jada needs 5 eggs for every 2 cakes she makes and she wants to make 8 cakes so she will need 5/2 = <<5/2=2.5>>2.5 eggs per cake
She wants to make 8 cakes and she needs 2.5 eggs per cake so she will need 8*2.5 = <<8*2.5=20>>20 eggs. Answer: \boxed{20}.
