A baker uses 3c of flour to bake 2 loaves of bread. If 1lb of flour is equivalent to 331c, how many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10lb-bag of flour? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)◻
Q. A baker uses 3c of flour to bake 2 loaves of bread. If 1lb of flour is equivalent to 331c, how many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10lb-bag of flour? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)◻
Calculate flour in 10lb bag: question_prompt: How many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10lb bag of flour?
Determine loaves per cup: First, find out how many cups of flour are in a 10lb bag. Since 1lb is equivalent to 331c, multiply 331c by 10.
Round down for whole loaves: Now, we know the baker uses 3c of flour for 2 loaves of bread. To find out how many loaves can be made with 100c, divide 100c by the amount of flour used for 2 loaves, which is 3c.
Round down for whole loaves: Now, we know the baker uses 3c of flour for 2 loaves of bread. To find out how many loaves can be made with 100c, divide 100c by the amount of flour used for 2 loaves, which is 3c. Since we can't make a third of a loaf, round down to the nearest whole number to find out how many whole loaves can be made.
