Answer: 14 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Number of gallons the baker has: [tex]4 gallons \frac{16 cups}{1 gallon}=64 cups[/tex]

Number of cups the baker used for one cake: [tex]4,5 cups[/tex]

Now, we can use the Rule of three  to find the maximum number of cakes the baker can completely decorate:

[tex]4.5 cups[/tex]-----​[tex]1 cake[/tex]

[tex]64 cups[/tex]-----​[tex]?[/tex]

Then:

​[tex]?=\frac{(64 cups)(1 cake)}{4.5 cups}[/tex]

​[tex]?=14,2 cakes \approx 14 cakes[/tex]
