Question

Sophia uses 334 cups of flour for each cake she makes. She has a 10-pound bag of flour that costs $8.79 and contains 152 quarter-cup servings.

Question 1
Part A

How many cakes can Sophia make with this flour?

Answer 1

The number of cakes Sophia can make is 10.

Explanation:

The bag of flour contains 152 quarter-cup servings. So, the quantity in t he bag has to be divided by four.

Number of cups = 152 / 4 = 38 cups

In order to determine the number of cakes she can make, divide the number of cups in the bag by the cups needed to make one cake.

38 ÷ 3 3/4

38 ÷ 15/4

38 × 4/15 = 10.1 cakes
