Problem

301 point A baker wants to divide $41 \frac{2}{3}$ cups of flour into bowls of $4 \frac{7}{12}$ cups. How many bowls will there be?

Solution

Step 1 :Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. The total amount of flour is \(\frac{125}{3}\) cups and each bowl can contain \(\frac{55}{12}\) cups of flour.

Step 2 :Divide the total amount of flour by the amount of flour per bowl to find the number of bowls. This gives us \(\frac{100}{11}\) bowls.

Step 3 :This result is an improper fraction, which means that there will be some bowls that are not completely full. To find the number of full bowls, we need to take the integer part of the result.

Step 4 :The integer part of \(\frac{100}{11}\) is 9. Therefore, there will be 9 full bowls.

Step 5 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{9}\)
