Question

Antonio used 16 1/3 cups of flour to make banana bread. The recipe for one loaf of banana bread calls for 2 1/3 cups of flour.

What equation can be used to find the number of loaves of banana bread that Antonio made?

Let n represent the number of loaves.

Drag and drop the appropriate number into each box.

2 1/3 ~ 7 ~ 16 1/3 ~ 14 ~ 18 2/3 ~ 38 1/9

___ . n = ___ (these are the boxes)

Answer 1

you want to multiply the 2 1/3 n times to see how many loaves you can get if you used 16 1/3. so the equation will be 2 1/3n=16 1/3

Answer 2

`2(1)/(3)* n=16(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given,

The number of cups for one loaf of banana =
`2(1)/(3)`

Let n be the number of loaves of banana,

So, the total number of cups of flour = number of cups for one loaf × total number of loaf

`=2(1)/(3)* n`

According to the question,

The total number of cups of flour =
`16(1)/(3)`

`2(1)/(3)* n=16(1)/(3)`

Which is the required equation.
