Question

out of every eight loaves of bread that Marco bakes, five of them a pumpkin bread at this rate how many loaves of pumpkin bread would he have if he picked a total of 40 loaves of bread?​

Answer 1

He would have 25 loaves of pumpkin bread because there are 5 pumpkin bread for every 8 loaves, and when you divide the total amount of loaves by the amount of 8 loaves you get 5. Then you multiply the five you got from the division and multiply it with the 5 you get from the amount of pumpkin bread per 8 loaves of bread, you get 25 loaves of pumpkin bread.
