Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Answer 2

Each loaf contained
`(1)/(8)` a cup of whole-wheat ⇒ A

Explanation:

∵ Anne made a recipe for miniature bread loaves that called for 7/8

of a cup of whole-wheat flour

∵ The recipe made 7 equal-sized loaves of bread

→ That means 7/8 of a cup of whole-wheat flour maks 7 equal-sized

loaves of bread

→ By using the ratio method

→ Cup : Loaves

→
`(7)/(8)` : 7

→ x : 1

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ x × 7 =
`(7)/(8)` × 1

∴ 7x =
`(7)/(8)`

→ Divide both sides by 7 to find x

∴ x =
`(7)/(8)` ÷ 7

∴ x =
`(1)/(8)`

∴ Each loaf contained
`(1)/(8)` a cup of whole-wheat
