Complete Question

A baker uses 5.5 Ibs of flour daily

The baker's recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 12 oz of flour. If he uses all of his flour to make loaves of bread, how many loaves can he bake in seven days?

Answer:

51.3 loaves of bread

Explanation:

Converting 5.5 Ibs to oz (ounces)

1 Ibs =>12 oz

5.5 Ibs => x

Cross Multiply

12 × 5.5 => 88 oz

1 loaf of bread =>12 oz

Hence, in 1 day

12 oz =>1 loaf of bread

88 oz => x

x =>88 oz/ 12 oz

x => 7.3333333333 loaves of bread

Hence, he can make 7.3333333333 loaves of bread in 1 day

Hence, in 7 days

1 day => 7.3333333333 loaves

7 days => x

x => 7 × 7.3333333333 loaves

x => 51.333333333 loaves of bread

Approximately => 51.3 loaves of bread
