I give lot of points

Answer 1

Sophia can make 12 cakes and 4 loaves of bread.

The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

White flour used for one loaf of bread = 1/2 pound

White flour available = 2 pounds

Cake flour used to make one cake = 1/4 pound

Cake flour available = 3 pounds

We will divide the available amount by the amount used for one.

No. of loaves of bread = $\frac{2}{\frac{1}{2}}=2*2$

No. of loaves of bread = 4

No. of cakes = $\frac{3}{\frac{1}{4}}=3*4$

No. of cakes = 12

Therefore,

Sophia can make 12 cakes and 4 loaves of bread.

The right answer is Option A.
