Question

A bread recipe calls for 4 eggs for every one and a half pounds of flour do you use if you have 12 lb of flour how many eggs would you need to make all the bread that you could

Answer 1

32 eggs

Explanation:

we need to find the number which, when multiplied with 1 1/2, = 12. To do this, we can do 12÷1 1/2 = 8.

Since there is 8 times the amount of flour used, there must be 8 times the amount of eggs used to keep the ingredients in proportion.

4 x 8 = 32

32 eggs would be used to make all the bread possible with 12 pounds of flour.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!
