Question

I bought 45 oz of flour. She used 15.6 oz to make a loaf of bread, 0.71 oz for each muffin. How many muffins were made if you have 18.04 oz left over?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

• Total weight of flour =45 oz
• Weight of flour used for bread =15.6 oz
• Leftover =18.04 oz

Therefore:

Weight of flour used for muffin =Total weight of flour-(Weight of flour used for bread+Leftover)

=45-(15.6+18.04)

=45-33.64

=11.36 oz

Since each muffin is made with 0.71 oz of flour

Number of muffins made=11.36/0.71

=16

16 muffins were made.
