Answer:

 Given parameters:

       Number of cupcakes = 24 cupcakes

        Ounces of whipped icing = 16 ounces

Unknown:

How much icing was used in each cupcake  = ?

Solution:

 To find the number icing used per cupcake;

                             = [tex]\frac{number of ounces of whipped icing}{Number of cupckakes}[/tex]

  Input the parameters;

                              = [tex]\frac{16 ounce of icing }{24 cupcake}[/tex]

                             = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ounce of icing per cupcake
