Question

A recipe for nut bread calls for 73 milliliters of walnuts for each loaf. Let (b) represent the number of loaves of nut bread and (w) represent the total milliliters of walnuts used. Find the value of (w) when (b = 10).

A) (730)

B) (7300)

C) (73000)

D) (730000)

Answer 1

To calculate the total milliliters of walnuts needed for 10 loaves of nut bread, multiply the number of loaves (10) by the milliliters of walnuts needed per loaf (73 ml) to get 730 ml in total, which is answer A) 730.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total milliliters (w) of walnuts needed when making 10 loaves (b) of nut bread, given that each loaf requires 73 milliliters of walnuts. To find the total amount of walnuts needed, we use the formula:

w = number of loaves (b) × milliliters of walnuts per loaf

Substituting the given value of b = 10 into the formula gives us:

w = 10 loaves × 73 milliliters/loaf

Thus:

w = 730 milliliters

The correct answer is A) 730.
