Verified Answer :

No, It is not there enough flour for each of his friends to get a cupcake.

Division:

Anthony's birthday, his mother is making cupcakes for his 12 friends at his daycare.

Given that, from \(3\frac{1}{3}\) cups of flour, \(2\frac{1}{2}\) dozen of cupcakes are produced.

    In \(\frac{10}{3}\) cups of flour \(=\frac{5}{2}*12=30\) cupcakes are produced.

Since, Anthony's mother has only 1 cup of flour.

   In 1 cup of flour \(=30\div\frac{10}{3}=30*\frac{3}{10} =9\) cupcakes.

Thus, In one cup of flour only 9 cupcakes can be produced.
