Divide.
(2/3) / (4 3/5) =
(2/3) / (23/5)
(2/3) * (5/23) = 10/69 pound
Can someone please explain this to me in detail? Thank you! To make 4 3/5 cakes, 2/3 pounds of flour is needed. How much flour is needed to make one cake?

the amount of flour needed is directly proportional to the number of cakes...more cakes, more flour
the constant of proportionality (k) is the flour per cake
4⅗ * k = 2/3
dividing both sides by 4⅔
k = 10/69 lb/cake
seems more like a cupcake...

4 3 / 5 = 4 + 3 / 5 = 4 * 5 / 5 + 3 / 5 = 20 / 5 + 3 / 5 = 23 / 5
( 2 / 3 ) / 4 3 / 5 =
( 2 / 3 ) / ( 23 / 5 ) =
2 * 5 / ( 3 * 23 ) =
10 / 69 pounds
( 2 / 3 ) / 4 3 / 5 =
( 2 / 3 ) / ( 23 / 5 ) =
2 * 5 / ( 3 * 23 ) =
10 / 69 pounds
