11.Steveisplanningtobake3 loaves of bread. Each loaf calls for 5cups of flour. He knows he has 20cups on hand. Will he have enough flour left for a cake recipe that requires 3 cups?4

Answer»

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.
