Question

A baker uses 70 grams of sea salt for each batch of bread. Sea salt comes in a 28​-kilogram package or a 1,500​-gram package. Which size package should the baker buy so that no sea salt is left after all of the batches are​ made? Explain. Answer plz

Answer 1

28-kilogram package

Explanation:

From the two options provide the baker should buy the 28-kilogram package. This package would make it so that the baker can make his batches and no sae would be left. The 28-kilogram package has 28,000 grams of sea salt, which evenly divides by the 70 grams of each batch

28,000 / 70 = 400

On the other hand the 1,500 gram package does not evenly divide by 70 grams which would mean that there would always be sea salt left over.
