Question

Raul dad bakes bread 5 days a week. If he bakes 85 loaves of bread each day, how many loaves of bread will his dad bake in two 5-day work week. The answer selection are as follow : 850,595,425,and 400.

Answer 1

Hello!

If he makes 85 loaves a day (I don't understand how he bakes that much) for 5 days, we just multiply!

85(5)=425

Now we need to multiply by 2 to find the amount he bakes in two 5 day weeks.

425(2)=850

He bakes 850 loaves of bread.

I hope this helps!

(P.S) He must got a lot of money from selling that bread. He probably just spends the money to make more enormous batches of bread. He probably just makes the same amount of profit as a person who bakes ONE loaf. Someone should tell Raul's dad that he doesn't have to bake that much bread to make lots of money.

Answer 2

So, he bakes 85 loaves of bread in one day. First, we should find out how many loaves of bread he bakes is 5 days. To do this, we multiply 85*5=425. So, in 5 days, he bakes 425 loaves of bread. But it says, "how many loaves of bread will his dad bake in two 5-day work week". So, since we have one 5-day work week, we could add 425 + 425 to get 2 5-days weeks (or multiply 425 * 2). So, if we do this, it turns out that Raul's dad bakes 850 loaves of bread in two 5-day work weeks. Hope this helped!
