Question

Two important ingredients for baking

bread are yeast and flour. To make a loaf of bread
of at most 40 servings, maintain a yeast to flour ratio of
1:200. If you're making a loaf of
more than 40 a servings, use a ratio of 1:180.
If you're making 40 servings of bread and using 0.35 oz of yeast, how
many ounces of
flour do you need?
If you're making 90 servings of bread and using 360 oz of flour. how many ounces of
yeast do you need?
NOTE: Enter only numerals for each of your
answers.

Answer 1

14 oz of flour. 2 oz yeast.

Explanation:

If you're making 40 servings of bread and using 0.35 oz of yeast, you need:

0.35 oz yeast / 1 yeast : 200 flour = 0.35 oz yeast / 1 : 200 flour = 0.00175 oz yeast/flour

So, you need 0.00175 oz yeast/flour * 40 servings * 200 flour/serving = 14 oz of flour.

If you're making 90 servings of bread and using 360 oz of flour, you need:

1 yeast : 180 flour = 360 oz flour / 90 servings / 180 flour/serving = 2 oz yeast.
