Question

A recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 2/3of a cup of flour. If Milo used 12 cups of flour, how many loaves of bread did he prepare?

Answer 1

Answer: 18 loaves of bread.

Explanation:

Do 12 divided by 2/3 which is the same thing as multiplying 12 by the reciprocal (just flip the fraction) of 2/3 which is 3/2. 12x3/2 is 36/2 which is equal to 18.
