Respuesta :

Answer:

To make one carrot cake 1 pound(approximately) carrot needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

8 1/4=33/4 pounds of carrots used to make 6 carrot cakes.

So, to get one carrot cake:

6 carrot cakes need = [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex]

1 carrot cake need =  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]6[/tex]

                               = [tex]\frac{33}{24}[/tex]

                               = [tex]1.375\ pound[/tex]

Therefore, to make one carrot cake 1 pound(approximately) carrot needed.
