Ricky has 12 1/2 pounds of flour with which to make soft taco shells. There are 3 3/4 cups of flour in a pound and it takes 1/3 cup of flour per shell. How many taco shells can he make. 
----
# of cups of flour = (12 1/2)*(3 3/4) = (25/2)(15/4) = 46.875
# of shells = 46.875/(1/3) = 148.625 
----
Ans: 148 taco shells
