OD. 36 pounds

Answer 1

A. 18 pounds

Explanation:

Each gift basket Sandra makes requires 3.0 lb [1.3 lb + 1.7 lb] of flour. If she wishes to make 6 gift baskets, she'll need a total of 18.0 lb [3.0 lb per basket × 6 baskets] of flour.

Answer 2

A: 18 pounds

Explanation:

The answer would be 18 pounds because if you take the amount needed to make the cupcakes and multiply it by the number of baskets Sandra wants to make (1.3 x 6 = 7.8) and then add it to how much flour is needed for 6 baskets of pies (1.7 x 6 = 10.2). So when you add the amount of flour needed for 6 baskets of pies and cupcakes the answer is 18 pounds.
