Answer:

The baker sells 4 loafs of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the baker uses 13\frac{1}{2} cups of flour to make key lime bread

One loaf of bread is said to contain  2\frac{1}{4} cups of flour

The baker sells only \frac{2}{3} out of the made bread

The number of bread baked with  13\frac{1}{2} cups of flour and  2\frac{1}{4} cups per loaf of bread is

\frac{13\frac{1}{2}\hspace{0.09cm} cups \hspace{0.09cm} of \hspace{0.09cm} flour}{2\frac{1}{4}\hspace{0.09cm} cups \hspace{0.09cm} of \hspace{0.09cm} flour \hspace{0.09cm} per \hspace{0.09cm} loaf } = \frac{27}{2} \div\frac{9}{4} = 6\hspace{0.12cm} Loafs \hspace{0.09cm} of \hspace{0.09cm} bread  

Where 13\frac{1}{2} = \frac{27}{2}  and  2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}

The baker sells only \frac{2}{3} out of the made bread

= \frac{2}{3} \times 6\hspace{0.12cm} Loafs \hspace{0.09cm} of \hspace{0.09cm} bread = 4 Loafs of bread sold.

Answer:

She sells 4 loaves of key lime bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Extracting the key information from the question:

*** A baker uses 13 1/2 cups of flour to make key lime bread

*** She uses 2 1/4 cups to make each loaf.

*** She sells 2/3 of the loaves of bread that she makes.

Now, since she uses 2 1/4 to make each loaf, we will convert this into improper fraction.

2 1/4 = [(4×2)+1]/4 = 9/4

She uses a total of 13 1/2 cups of flour to make all loaves.

To find the number of loaves she makes, we will divide the overall quantity of flour used by the quantity used to make a loaf

13 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4

Since 13 1/2 and 2 1/4 are the same as 27/2 and 9/4 respectively (mixed to improper fractions), we will then divide 27/2 by 9/4

= 27/2 × 4/9 = 6 loaves (total bread she makes).

Again, we learnt she sells 2/3 of the total loaves she makes.

Since total = 6, then 2/3 of 6 is:

2/3 × 6 = 4 loaves .

Therefore, the baker sells 4 loaves of key lime bread.

Why will percent of change always be represented by a positive number?
Murljashka [212]
Percent of change will always be positive because the change is an absolute value. As we know, absolute value is always a positive value because you don't pay attention to the direction, only the distance is important.

Which of the following statements is true?
madreJ [45]

Answer: choice 2) SAS

AB = DE is one pair of congruent sides that forms the first S in SAS. The other S in SAS refers to the pair of congruent sides BC = EF. The A in SAS is the angle pair angle B = angle E. Note how angle B and angle E are between the two pairs of congruent sides. The order of the letters matters because SAS is different from SSA, which is not a valid congruence argument. Check out the attached image.
