Question

Varun's measuring cup holds 27 in. of flour. He has enough flour to fill this measuring
cup exactly 120 times. If his bread recipe calls for 36 oz of flour per loaf, and we know
that 1 in. of flour weighs 0.4 oz, how many loaves of bread can Varun make?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bobby can make 36 loaves of bread.

Step-by-step explanation:

The measuring cup holds 27in³ of flour

Since he has enough flour to fill this measuring cup exactly 120 times,

Therefore, he has 3,240in³ (27in³ * 120) of flour.

Given that 1in³ of flour weighs 0.4 oz,

This implies that there are 1,296 oz (3,240in³ * 0.4 oz) of flour

And since the bread recipe per loaf consumes 36 oz of flour,

Therefore, the number of loaves Bobby can make is: 36 (1,296 oz / 36 oz)

Answer 2

Conversion from the depth of the measuring cup in inches to ounces which is the weight of the flour is very important in solving this question.

Varun can make 36 loaves of bread.

From the question,

• Varun's measuring cup holds 27 in. of flour. He has enough flour to fill this measuring cup 120 times

• The total cup of flour Varun has is calculated as:

27 in x 120 = 3240 in  of flour

We are given the conversion rate of

1 in flour = 0.4 oz

• Step 1: Convert Varun's flour to ounces(oz)

1 in flour = 0.4 oz

3240 in flour = ?

Cross Multiply

3240 in flour × 0.4 oz / 1 in flour

= 1296 oz of flour

Varun's measuring cup holds 1296 oz of flour

• Step 2: If his bread recipe calls for 36 oz of flour per loaf, the number of  loaves of bread Varun can make is calculated as:

36 oz  = 1 loaf of bread

1296 oz = ?

Cross Multiply

1296 oz × 1 loaf of bread  / 36 oz

= 36 loaves of bread.

Therefore, Varun can make 36 loaves of bread.
