Answer:
(a) 6 loaves
(b) yes
(c) 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A bag contains 36 cups of flour
5 1/3 cups of flour is used to make 1 loaf
Rewrite mixed fraction into improper fraction
[tex]5\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5*3+1}{3} =\frac{16}{3}[/tex]
16/3 cups used to make 1 loaf
36 cups used to make how many loaves?
Divide 36 by 16/3
[tex]\frac{36}{\frac{16}{3}} =\frac{36}{1} *\frac{3}{16} = \frac{27}{4}= 6 \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
the fraction says 6 loaves and 3/4 left over
So, 6 loaves of bread can be made each loaf takes 5 1/3 cups
(b) yes , some fraction of flour is left over
(c) 3/4 of the flour is left over
