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

No he does not have enough walnuts

Step-by-step explanation:

So if one dozen cupcakes is 12 then two dozen is 24 and each one has 3 walnuts and he only has 56 walnuts then what you have to do is multiply 24 by 3 and get 72 so the answer is no he does not have enough

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
