Question

Javier uses one eight teaspoon of nutmeg for each loaf of banana bread he makes how many loaves of banana bread can Javier make with 4 teaspoons of nutmeg32, 12, 24, 2

Answer 1

1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg = 1 loaf of bread

4 teaspoons of nutmeg = x loaves of bread

cross multiplying yields

1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg x (x loaves of bread) = 1 loaf of bread x 4 tea spoons of nutmeg

x loaves of bread = (1 loaf of bread x 4 tea spoons of nutmeg x 8 tea spoons of nutmeg)

x loaves of bread = 32

so 32 loaves of bread
