Question

Luke's friend can't eat wheat, so luke is baking him a loaf of gluten-free raisin bread. he mixes the dough and leaves it in a bowl to rise. then, luke forms the dough into a loaf and puts it in a pan to rise for another 1 2 of an hour. in all, the dough rises for 1 3 4 hours. use an equation to find the amount of time the dough rises in the bowl. to write a fraction, use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Answer 1

To find out how long the dough was left to rise in the bowl, we first need to know the total rise time and the time it was left to rise in the pan.

Given that the total rise time is 1 3/4 hours and that after forming into a loaf, the dough was left to rise in the pan for 1/2 an hour.

To find the rise time in the bowl, we will subtract the rise time in the pan from the total rise time, which gives us:

1 3/4 hours - 1/2 hour = 1.75 hours - 0.5 hour = 1.25 hours

Therefore, the dough was left to rise in the bowl for 1 1/4 hours.
