To answer this question, follow this step by step procedure:1. Add first the needed and the excess flour to determine to total flour, = (1.75 kg + 0.5 kg = 2.25)2. Then divide the answer by 3 since you need to have 3 more breads, 2.25 kg / 3 = 0.75 kg
So we can say that we need 0.75 kilogram of flour for each loaf of bread.
