Answer 1

Total number of pounds of flour in the bakery is 54.36 pounds

Solution:

Given that,

Twins Bakery has 12 bags of flour in their bakery

Each bag weighs 4.53 pounds

Therefore,

Weight of 1 bag = 4.53 pounds

There are 12 bags

Therefore, total number of pounds of flour in the bakery are:

$\text{Total number of pounds } = \text{ 12 bags } \times \text{ weight of 1 bag }$

Thus we get,

$\text{Total number of pounds } = 12 \times 4.53 = 54.36$

Thus total number of pounds of flour in the bakery is 54.36 pounds
