Question

Steve is planning to bake 3 loaves of bread Each loaf calls for 5 1/4 cups of flour. He knows he has 20 cups on hand . will he have enough flour a cake recipe that requires 3 3/4 cups ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of flour required to make a loaf of bread is 5 1/4.

Therefore to make 3 loaves of bread, one will require:

5 1/4 × 3 = 21/4 × 3

= 63/4

= 15 3/4

Steve has 20 cups, therefore what is left is:

20 - 15 3/4 = 4 1/4

What is left is 4 and 1/4 cups of flour. This is enough to make the cake that requires 3 3/4 cups.
