Question

Mary used one big bag of flour. She baked four loaves of bread.​ Then, she used the remaining flour to make 48 muffins. How much flour was in the bag when Mary​ began? Plz help!!!! I have 20 minutes left

Answer 1

Answer is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria makes the remaing 48 muffins of the flour left so,

One muffin is equal 3 1/4 cups so two becomes 2×3 1/4=13/2

Add both of them

9/2+13/2=11
