Question

Grade 8-14 students are baking breads and cakes. They need 1 2 batch of dough per bread and 1 2 batch of dough per cake. They have enough ingredients to make up to 10 batches of dough. If they make 8 cakes, how many breads can they make?

Answer 1

Given the dough required for bread and cakes, and the availability of 10 batches of dough, after making 8 cakes, 12 breads can be made with the remaining dough.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a simple algebraic problem where we calculate the number of breads that can be made given a certain limitation on the batches of dough. Each bread and each cake require 1/2 batch of dough. With 10 batches of dough available and 8 cakes being made, 8 * 1/2 batches = 4 batches are allocated for the cakes. Therefore, there are 10 - 4 = 6 batches of dough remaining for the bread. Since each bread requires 1/2 batch of dough, the number of breads that can be made is 6 / (1/2) = 12 breads.
