Final answer:

Starting with 11 bananas and using three bananas per loaf, you can make 3 full loaves and have 2 bananas remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you start with 11 bananas and use three bananas for each loaf, you can determine how many bananas will be left by performing a simple division followed by finding the remainder.

First, divide the total number of bananas by the number of bananas needed for one loaf:
11 (total bananas) ÷ 3 (bananas per loaf) = 3 (whole loaves) with a remainder of 2 (bananas).

So, you can make 3 full loaves using 9 bananas (since 3 loaves × 3 bananas per loaf = 9 bananas). Therefore, you will have 2 bananas left over after making the loaves.
