Question

This is a two part question a baker uses 5.5 pounds of flour daily one week equals seven days. part A how many ounces of flour will the baker us in two weeks 1 pound equals = 16 oz. part B the bakers recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 12 ounces of flour if he uses all of his flour to make loaves of bread how many full loaves can he bake in two weeks.

Answer 1

Part a) He uses 1,232 oz of flour in two weeks.

Part b) he can bake ~102 loafs of bread in two weeks if he uses all the flour (p.s the exact is 102.666667

Step-by-step explanation: For part a all you need to do is multiply 5.5 X d, or days. Since we know he uses two full weeks you substitute d for 14 then solve. 5.5 x 14 = 77. Next you take 77 times the number of ounces in a pound to find the total ounces. 77 x 16 = 1,232.

Part b) for this problem you need to take the amount of flour, or 1,232 oz. and divide that by the number of ounces needed per loaf. 1,232 ÷ 12 = 102.666667.

Hope this helps
