Paul is making banana bread. The number of cups of bananas he uses is proportional to the number of loaves of bread. Paul uses 1
1 1/4 cups of bananas to make 5 loaves of bread. Which equation represents the relationship between, c, the number of cups of bananas, and b, the number of loaves of bread?
The equation that best represents the relationship between
the number of loaves of bread which is denoted by b and the number of cups of
bananas which is denoted by c is c = 2 1/4b.
We know that we need 11 ¼ cups of bananas is needed to make
5 loaves of bread.
We need to divide 11 ¼ to 5 which the answer is 2 ¼. The 2 ¼
represents how many cups is needed to make 1 loaf of bread.
