Question

A recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 2/3 of a cup of flour. If Milo used 12 cups of flour, how many loafs of bread did he prepare

Answer 1

18 loaf of breads are made form 12 cups of flour .

Explanation:

As given

A recipe for a loaf of bread calls for
`(2)/(3)` of a cup of flour.

`If\ Milo\ used\ 12\ cups\ of flour`

Thus

`1\ loaf = (2)/(3)\ cups\ of\ flour`

Thus

`1\ cup\ of\ flour = (1)/((2)/(3) )\ loaf`

Now calculate for 12 cups of flours .

`12\ cup\ of\ flour = (12)/((2)/(3))\ loaf`

`12\ cup\ of\ flour = (3* 12)/(2)\ loaf`

= 18 loaf of bread .

Therefore 18 loaf of breads are made form 12 cups of flour .
