Question

Kaci works at a bread store. She has 8 1/4 pounds of dough. She is making .75 pounds loaves. How many loaves will she be able to make ?

Answer 1

Alright, lets get started.

Kaci has $8\frac{1}{4}$ pounds of dough.

We should write $8\frac{1}{4}$ in fraction form first., So that equal to

$\frac{33}{4}$ or in decimal form, we could write it as 8.25.

It means Kaci has 8.25 pounds of dough in store.

She is making 0.75 pounds loaves.

To calculate number of loaves, we could divide size of loave from size of dough.

Means number of loaves she will make = $\frac{8.25}{0.75}$

Means number of loaves she will make = 11 : Answer
