Question

A baker has 85 cups of flour to make bread. She uses 6 1/4 cups of flour for each loaf of bread. How many loaf of bread can she make

Answer 1

Answer;

The number of loaf of bread she can make is;

`13\text{ loaves}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a baker has 85 cups of flour to make bread.

`A=85\text{ cups}`

And for each bread she uses 6 1/4 cups of flour.

`r=6(1)/(4)\text{ cups}`

The number of loaf of bread she can make can be calculated by dividing the total amount of flour by the amount of flour per bread;

`\begin{gathered} n=(A)/(r)=(85)/(6(1)/(4))=(85)/(6.25) \\ n=13.6 \end{gathered}`

Since it will not complete the 14th loaf of bread.

So, the number of loaf of bread she can make is;

`13\text{ loaves}`
