Question

The cooking time for a mini-loaf of bread is 5 minutes longer than half the time it takes to bake a regular-sized loaf of bread. If it takes 25 minutes to bake a mini-loaf, how long does it take to bake a regular-sized loaf?

Answer 1

40min

Explanation:

Answer 2

m = 1/2r + 5
m = 25

25 = 1/2r + 5
25 - 5 = 1/2r
20 = 1/2r
20 * 2 = r
40 = r

so it takes 40 minutes to bake a regular sized loaf
