Jenny made five loaves of banana bread that had 1/4 cup of oil in each loaf. After she was done baking, she had 5/8 cup of oil remaining. How much oil did she have before baking? ______ cups
First we need to find out how much oil she used in all of the loaves: 1/4*5= 5/4, and add it to the ramaining oil: 5/8+ 5/4( converting 5/4 to 8 by multiplying by 2), you get 15/8. Now simplify to get: 1 and 7/8 cups of oil. Hope this helps!
