Answer:
a. 8.85kg of flour is left.
b. 2.95 bins
Step-by-step explanation:
The bakery bought 4 bags of flour containing 3.5 kg each.
Total kg of flour the Bakery bought : 4 × 3.5kg
= 14 kg of flour
0.475 kg of flour is needed to make a batch of muffins
1 batch of muffin = 0.475kg of flour
4 batches of muffins = ???
Cross Multiply
4 batches × 0.475kg/ 1 batch
= 1.9kg of flour was used.
0.65 kg is needed to make a loaf of bread.
1 loaf of bread = 0.65kg of flour
5 loaves of bread = ???
Cross Multiply
5 loaves × 0.65/1 loaf
= 3.25 kg of flour.
Total kg of flour used = 1.9kg + 3.25kg
= 5.15kg of flour.
The amount of flour left = 14kg - 5.15kg
= 8.85kg of flour is left.
b. The remaining flour is stored in bins that hold 3 kg each. How many bins will be needed to store the flour?
3 kg of flour is stored = 1 bin
8.85 kg of flour is stored = x
Cross Multiply
3kg × x = 8.85kg × 1 bin
x = 8.85 kg × 1 bin/3kg
x = 2.95 bins
