Question

Four bread rolls weigh a total of 3/5 pounds. How much does each bread roll weigh?

Answer 1

Well, for his you would have to find the unit rate.
The easiest way to do this would first be converting 3/5 into a fraction (0.6)

next, divide that by 4 to get the weight of 1.

0.6/4 (the same as 0.6 x 0.25 or 6/10 x 1/4 if you are doing it without a calculator)

each bread weighs 3/20 (or 0.15) pounds.

Answer 2

Greetings!

We can create an equation to solve:

Let W represent the weight of an individual bread roll.
$W= \frac{ \frac{3}{5} }{4}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{1}{4}$.
$W=\frac{ \frac{3}{5} }{\frac{4}{1}}$

$W=\frac{3}{5}*\frac{1}{4}$


$W=\frac{3}{20}$

The Answer Is:
$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}W= \frac{3}{20}\end{array}\right]$

The weight of one bread roll is $\frac{3}{20}$ pounds.

Hope this helps.
