Question

Rosa has 3(3)/(4) pounds of dough. She uses (3)/(4) of a pound for one medium loaf of bread. How many medium loaves of bread could be made from Rosa's dough? 2(13)/(16) 5 3 3(9)/(16)

Answer 1

Rosa can bake 5 medium loaves of bread with her 3(3/4) pounds of dough, by dividing the total amount of dough by the amount required for one loaf.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rosa has 3(3/4) pounds of dough and uses (3/4) of a pound for each medium loaf of bread. To determine how many medium loaves she can make, we divide the total amount of dough she has by the amount needed for one loaf.

Steps to Calculate Loaves of Bread:

First, convert 3(3/4) pounds to an improper fraction: 3(3/4) = (12/4 + 3/4) = (15/4) pounds.

Since each loaf requires (3/4) of a pound, we divide the total pounds of dough by the fraction for one loaf: (15/4) ÷ (3/4) = (15/4) * (4/3) = 5 loaves.

Rosa can make 5 medium loaves of bread with the dough she has.
