The baker uses 1/8 cup of yeast per day
He has 3/4 cups of yeast left
To calculate how many days he can bake before he runs out of yeast you can use cross multiplication:
1/8cup of yeast____1day
3/4cup of yeast____xdays
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{\frac{1}{8}}=\frac{x}{\frac{3}{4}} \\ 8\cdot1=\frac{4}{3}\cdot x \\ \frac{4}{3}x=8 \\ x=8\div\frac{4}{3} \\ x=8\cdot\frac{3}{4} \\ x=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]The yeast will last for him to work 6 days
