Question

A baker uses 3 cups (c) of flour to bake 2 loaves of bread. If 1 pound (lb) of flour is equivalent to 3 c, how many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10 lb-bag of flour? 3 (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)​

Answer 1

The number of loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10 lb-bag of flour is 20 loaves of bread.

Number of loaves

Ratio of flour to loaves of bread = 3 cups : 2 loaves

• 1 pound (lb) of flour = 3 cups of flour

• 10 pounds (lb) of flour = 30 cups of flour

Number of loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10 lb-bag of flour

• Equate the ratio of flour to loaves of bread

3 : 2 = 30 : x

3/2 = 30/x

3 × x = 2 × 30

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20 loaves of bread

Therefore, the number of loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10 lb-bag of flour is 20 loaves of bread.
