Question

Henry decorates the top of each cupcake with 3 walnuts. if he has 56 walnuts, is that enough to decorate 2 dozen cupcakes? Explain.

Answer 1

No, it wouldn't be enough because one dozen equals 12, so two dozen would be 24. If Henry tried to put 3 walnuts on 24 cupcakes, it wouldn't work.
EXPLANATION- 24 x 3 = 72.   72 > 56.

Answer 2

Hey there! 

Since there are 56 walnuts in total and we put 3 walnuts on each cupcake, we have to divide 56 by 3. 

56 ÷ 3 = 19 approximately. 

Since 1 dozen is equal to 12 cupcakes, 2 dozen will equal to 24 cupcakes. 

So, the correct answer is no. He will only be able to decorate approximately 19 cupcakes.
