Question

A bag contains 36 cups of flour how many loaves of bread can be made each loaf takes 5 1/3 cups? Is there any flour left over? If so how much?

Answer 1

Answer:C. 4

Step-by-step explanation:the answer to c is not correct. There is enough flour left for 3/4 or a loaf of bread so 3/4*5 1/3.

16/3 * 4/4 = 4/3 * 3/1 = 12/3 = 4

Answer 2

(a) 6 loaves

(b) yes

(c) 3/4

Explanation:

A bag contains 36 cups of flour

5 1/3 cups of flour is used to make 1 loaf

Rewrite mixed fraction into improper fraction

`5(1)/(3) = (5*3+1)/(3) =(16)/(3)`

16/3 cups used to make 1 loaf

36 cups used to make how many loaves?

Divide 36 by 16/3

`(36)/((16)/(3)) =(36)/(1) *(3)/(16) = (27)/(4)= 6 (3)/(4)`

the fraction says 6 loaves and 3/4 left over

So, 6 loaves of bread can be made each loaf takes 5 1/3 cups

(b) yes , some fraction of flour is left over

(c) 3/4 of the flour is left over
