The answer is 1.7 loaves.

Answer 2

Answer : The number of loaves of bread placed on each platter are, $\frac{12}{7}$ or $1\frac{5}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that Mr. walker must cut and equally divide 12 loaves of bread over 7 platters.

Now we have to determine the number of loaves of bread are placed on each platter.

As, 7 platters contains number of loaves of bread = 12

So, 1 platters contain number of loaves of bread = $\frac{12}{7}$

                                                                                 = $1\frac{5}{7}$

Thus, the number of loaves of bread placed on each platter are, $\frac{12}{7}$ or $1\frac{5}{7}$
