Question

50.

Belinda has 10 cups of flour. She uses 3 cups of it to make a loaf of bread.
She uses 1/4 cup of the remaining flour for each biscuit she wants to make. How
many biscuits can she make with the remaining flour?​

Answer 1

28 biscuits.

Explanation:

Belinda has 10 cups of flour

She uses 3 cups to make a loaf of bread

She uses
`(1)/(4)` cup of the remaining flour for each biscuit she wants to make.

There are 10 - 3 = 7 cups of flour remaining

`(1)/(4)` cup of flour makes -> 1 biscuit

7 cups of flour will make;

7 × 1 ÷
`(1)/(4)` = 7 × 4 = 28 biscuits
