Question

Wanda uses 3.54 cups of flour to make 6 bagels. Eli uses 2.5 cups of flour to make 5 bagels. How much more flour per bagel is needed for Wanda's recipe?

Answer 1

Wanda's recipe needs 0.09 more cups of flour per bagel.

Explanation:

First, you have to find the amount flour that each of them need for one bagel by dividing the cups of flour they use by the number of bagels:

Wanda: 3.54/6= 0.59 cups of flour

Eli: 2.5/5=0.5 cups of flour

Now, you have to subtract the amount of flour Eli needs from the amount that Wanda needs:

0.59-0.5=0.09

According to thiss, the answer is that Wanda's recipe needs 0.09 more cups of flour per bagel.
