Answer:

96 loaves of bread

Explanation:

Total baking powder = 24 ounces

Baking powder used per loaf of bread = 1/4 of an ounce

loaves of bread will Jorge be able to bake = Total baking powder / Baking powder used per loaf of bread

= 24 ÷ 1/4

= 24 × 4/1

= 96 loaves of bread

loaves of bread will Jorge be able to bake = 96 loaves of bread
