Question

steve is planing to bake 3 loaves each loaf calls for 21/4 cups of flour he knows he has 20 cups on hand. will he have enough flour left for a cake recipe that requires 15/4 cups

Answer 1

1 loaf requirements = 21/4 = 5.25
3 loaves requirements = 5.25*3 = 15.75
left flour= 20 - 15.75 = 4.25
cake requirements= 15/4 = 3.75
thus he haves enough flour to make cake as
left flour > cake requirements
hence,
he will be having enough flour to make a cake recipe from the left over flour
