Problem Solving

Recipe A makes 5 dinner rolls using 1 c of flour. Recipe B makes 24 rolls using 7 1/2 c of flour. which recipe requires the most flour per roll

- To know which recipe requires the most flour per roll, let's convert fraction to decimal.

before that let's convert the recipe B from mixed fraction to decimal then, the total is the numerator and make 24 as the denominator.

How do we convert fraction to decimal?

- Divide the numerator by the denominator.


  • \tt(1)/(2) = 0.5

- Then, add the whole number. ( if it is mixed fraction)


  • \tt 0.5 + 7 = 7.5

Recipe B


  • \tt 7.5/ 24 =0.31


\rightarrowRecipe B
\tt =(7.5)/(24)=0.31

Recipe A


  • \tt 1/ 5=0.2


\rightarrowRecipe A
\tt = (1)/(5)=0.2

Recipe B is great than Recipe A

Therefore, Recipe B requires the most flour per roll.
