Question

Fredrick and Kate have 17 1/3 cups of flour. They want to make loaves of banana bread for a bake sale. Fredrick has a recipe for banana bread that calls for 1 5/8 cups of flour. Kate has a recipe that calls for 1 3/4 cups of flour. Select all the statements that are true about the recipes.

Answer 1

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.
