Answer:

[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{1}=\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Per = 1

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

So, if we were to solve:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{6x}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{4}\cdot \:6x=1\cdot \:5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{2}x=5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{2}x\cdot \:2=5\cdot \:2[/tex]

[tex]3x=10[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Troy can make [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] dozen of cupcakes.
