We have a recipe for a loaf of bread.
For each loaf of bread, we need:
- 2 cups of flour
- 12 tablespoons of water
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Then, for 2 loaves of bread we will need:
- 2*2=4 cups of flour
- 12*2=24 tablespoons of water
- 1*2=2 teaspoon of salt
In the same way, we can calculate for 4 loaves:
- 2*4=8 cups of flour
- 12*4=48 tablespoons of water
- 1*4=4 teaspoon of salt
Now, for the last row, we have to find how many loaves are made with 6 cups of flour.
As we know that we need 2 cups of flour for every loaf of bread, we can calculate the loaves of breas as 6/2=3 loaves.
Then, for 3 loaves, we have:
- 12*3=36 tablespoons of water
- 1*3=3 teaspoon of salt
With the data calculated previously, we can fill the table:
