Question

Bobby's measuring cup holds 27 in3 of flour. He has enough flour to fill this measuring cup exactly 120 times. If his bread recipe calls for 36 oz of flour per loaf, and we know that 1 in.3 of flour weighs 0.4 oz, how many loaves of bread can Bobby make?

Answer 1

36 loaves of bread!

Answer 2

Bobby can make 36 loaves of bread.

Explanation:

The measuring cup holds 27in³ of flour

Since he has enough flour to fill this measuring cup exactly 120 times,

Therefore, he has 3,240in³ (27in³ * 120) of flour.

Given that 1in³ of flour weighs 0.4 oz,

This implies that there are 1,296 oz (3,240in³ * 0.4 oz) of flour

And since the bread recipe per loaf consumes 36 oz of flour,

Therefore, the number of loaves Bobby can make is: 36 (1,296 oz / 36 oz)
