Question

Melanie bought 45 oz of flour for her bakery. She used 17.4 oz to make a loaf of bread, and 0.92 oz for each muffin. How many muffins did Melanie make if she had 10.12 oz of flour left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

total flour = 45 oz

flour consumed for making a loaf of bread= 17.4 oz

now flour left = 45 - 17.4 = 27.6 oz

flour consumed to make a muffin = 0.92 oz

total number of muffins × flour consumed to make a muffin = total flour left for muffins

n × 0.92 = 27.6

n=27.6 / 0.92

n= 30

so Melanie would make 30 muffins with the remaining flour

hope it helps you

Answer 2

Given

• Total Flour = 45 oz
• She used 17.4 oz to make a loaf of bread
• 0.92 oz for each muffin

To Find

• How many muffins did Melanie make if she had 10.12 oz of flour left over?

Solution

• She had 10.12 oz of flour left over

Therefore

$\\\\\sf{He \: \: make \: \: muffin =\dfrac{ 45 - 10.12 -17.4}{0.92} }$

$\sf{He \: \: make \: \: muffin =\dfrac{17.48}{0.92} }$

$\sf{He \: \: make \: \: muffin = 19 }$

• 19 muffins did Melanie make if she had 10.12 oz of flour left over.
