Question

Carmen has 12 loaves of pumpkin bread. She cuts each loaf into 1/8 pieces and gives one piece to each of her friends. How many friends can Carmen give a piece of pumpkin bread?

Answer 1

12 loaves of pumpkin bread.

Each loave is cut into 1/8 pieces.

So, there are 8 pieces per loaf:

8 pieces per loaf x 12 loaves = 96 pieces

If she gives one piece to each friend she can give it to 96 friends:

96 pieces / x friends = 1 per friend

96/x =1

96 = x(1)

96= x
