Answer 1

Answer: C. Four loaves, with flour left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

7/2 simplifies to 3 1/2

Do the math,

3/4 + 3/4 = 1 1/2 2 loaves

1 1/2 + 3/4 = 2 1/4 3 loaves

2 1/4 + 3/4 = 3 4 loaves

Now when we add 3/4 to 3, we get more than 3 1/2. Which means we do not have enough flour for another loaf of bread. So, we can make four loaves and still have some four left over. The answer is C.
