Explanation:

One pound of pasta noodles can be made using the ingredients shown in the recipe below.

Recipe for Pasta Noodles

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups of flour

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons of olive oil

A chef uses 166 1/4 cups of flour each week to make noodles. How many pounds of noodles does the chef make each week?

28 1/2

47 1/2

53 1/4

55 1/2

Pounds of noodles made per week = Total cups of flour used each week / flour used per pound

= 166 1/4 ÷ 3 1/2

= 665/4 ÷ 7/2

= 665/4 ÷ 2/7

= (665*2)/(4*7)

= 1330/28

= 47.5 pounds

Pounds of noodles made per week = 47 1/2 pounds
