Question

You use 7 1/2 c flour to make 3 loaves of bread. The second person uses the same recipe. He will make b loves of bread using f cups of flour. Write an equations that represents of the relationship between b and f.

Answer 1

b = 2/5f

Explanation:

Cups of flour = loaves of bread

7 1/2 c = 3

c = 3 ÷ 7 1/2

c = 3 ÷ 15/2

= 3 × 2/15

= 6/15

= 2/5

c = 2/5

Cups of flour = loaves of bread

2/5 f = b

b = 2/5f
