Let’s check out your problem:

A baker uses 3 cups (c) of flour to bake 2 loaves of bread. If 1 pound
(lb) of flour is equivalent to 
3(1)/(3)c, how many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 
10lb-bag of flour?
(Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)

Full solution

Q. A baker uses 3c3\,\text{c} of flour to bake 22 loaves of bread. If 1lb1\,\text{lb} of flour is equivalent to 313c3\frac{1}{3}\,\text{c}, how many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10lb10\,\text{lb}-bag of flour? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)\newline
  1. Calculate flour in 10lb10\,\text{lb} bag: question_prompt: How many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10lb10\,\text{lb} bag of flour?
  2. Determine loaves per cup: First, find out how many cups of flour are in a 10lb10\text{lb} bag. Since 1lb1\text{lb} is equivalent to 313c3\frac{1}{3}c, multiply 313c3\frac{1}{3}c by 1010.
  3. Round down for whole loaves: Now, we know the baker uses 3c3c of flour for 22 loaves of bread. To find out how many loaves can be made with 100c100c, divide 100c100c by the amount of flour used for 22 loaves, which is 3c3c.
  4. Round down for whole loaves: Now, we know the baker uses 3c3c of flour for 22 loaves of bread. To find out how many loaves can be made with 100c100c, divide 100c100c by the amount of flour used for 22 loaves, which is 3c3c. 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.
