Answer:

The statement: Will Fredericks recipe make 10 loaves? Is:

  • True.

Explanation:

First, you must add the cups of total flour to have a decimal or fractional value.

  • Total cups of flour:
    17+(1)/(3)=(52)/(3)

And the cups of flour in Frederick's recipe.

  • Cups of flour in Frederick's recipe:
    1+(5)/(8)= (13)/(8)

In the end, you must divide the total flour in the flour of Frederick's recipe to obtain the number of loaves.

  • Loaves with Frederick's recipe:
    (52)/(3) /(13)/(8)= (32)/(3) or
    10.666667

How you can see, with Frederick's recipe, he can make 10 completed loaves, and there is a little flour left over.
