Question

A baker made 6 pounds of dough. He used 8 9 of the dough to make sandwich rolls. How much of the dough is left over?

Answer 1

2/3 pound of dough is left

Explanation:

Amount of dough available = 6 pounds

The amount used in making sandwich rolls = 8/9 of the total amount

=
`(8)/(9) *6 = 5(1)/(3) pounds`

Therefore, amount of dough left over
`= 6- 5(1)/(3) = (2)/(3) \\`

Hence, 2/3 pounds of dough is left
