Answer:

Will Fredericks recipe make 10 loaves?

Explanation:

It is given that Fredick and Kate have flour
$=17(1)/(3)$ cups

And Fredrik has a recipe where he calls for
$1(5)/(8)$ cups of flour while Kate calls for
$1(3)/(4)$ cups of floor.

So first we add the total cups of floor that they have

i.e.
$17+(1)/(3) = (52)/(3)$

Similarly cups of flour in the recipe of Fredrick =
$1+(5)/(8)= (13)/(8)$

Therefore, number of loaves that Fedrick can make is


$=((52)/(3))/((13)/(8))$


$=(52)/(3 )* (8)/(13)$


$=(32)/(3)$

= 10 .667

Therefore, with Fedrick's recipe, he can make 10 numbers of loaves.
