Abaker is decorating cupcakes using 3 cherries for every 1 cupcake. if the baker has 12 cherries and 5 cupcakes, what is the theoretical yield? a. 2 decorated cupcakes b. 3 decorated cupcakes c. 4 decorated cupcakes d. 5 decorated cupcakes

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since there are only 12 cherries for decorating the cup cakes and each cupcake has 3 cherries. Therefore, 12 divided by 3 equals 4, this means that only four cupcakes can be decorated out of the five cupcakes.

Mathematically,     = 4

Hence, we can conclude that the theoretical yield is four decorated cups.
