Question

Fredrick and Kate have 17 1/3 cups of flour. They want to make loaves of banana bread for a bake sale. Fredrick has a recipe that calls for 1 5/8 cups of flour

Kate has a recipe that calls for 1 3/4 cups of flour. Select the statements that are true.

Answer 1

Fredrick’s recipe will make 10 loaves and if Fredricks recipe is used there will be less flour left over

Answer 2

Fredrick's recipe will make 10 whole loaves & There will be less flour left over if Fredricks recipe is used

Explanation:

Fredrick's recipe

17 1/3 ÷ 1 5/8 = 10 2/3

Kate's recipe

17 1/3 ÷ 1 3/4 = 9 19/21

So Fredrick's recipe will make 10 whole loaves

9 19/21 is less than 10 2/3 so there will be less flour left over if Fredricks recipe is used
