A recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 2/3 of a cup of flour. If Milo used 12 cups of flour, how many loafs of bread did he prepare?

Respuesta :

The answer is:

1/2 cups of flour can make 1 loaf.

1 cup would make =   1 /(1/2) = 2 loaves.

12 cups of flour would then make =  12*2 = 24

= 24 loaves.

ratio and proportion

1 loaf is to 2/3 cup

? loaves is to 12 cups

1:2/3=?:12

so

[tex]\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{?}{12}[/tex]

cross multiply or basically multipily both sides by [tex](\frac{2}{3})(12)[/tex]

[tex]12=\frac{2}{3}?[/tex]

multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{36}{2}=?[/tex]

[tex]18=?[/tex]

18 loaves of bread was prepared
