Question

6 loaves of bread cost £7.74. Show how you would find the cost of:

a. 9 loaves of bread?
b. 4 loaves of bread?

Answer 1

a. £11.61

b. £5.16

Explanation:

a. To find the cost of 9 loaves of bread, we can use the unit rate (also known as the "unit price") of the bread, which is the cost of one loaf of bread. To find the unit rate, we divide the total cost of the 6 loaves by the number of loaves:

£7.74 ÷ 6 loaves = £1.29/loaf

Once we have the unit rate, we can multiply it by the number of loaves we want to find the cost of:

£1.29/loaf x 9 loaves = £11.61

b. To find the cost of 4 loaves of bread, we again use the unit rate that we found above:

£1.29/loaf x 4 loaves = £5.16
