Question

A recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 2/3 of a cup of flour. If Milo used 12 cups of flour, how many loafs of bread did he prepare

Answer 1

1 loaf of bread uses 2/3 of a cup of flour.
12 cups of flour x 2/3 = 12/1 x 2/3 = 24/3 = 8 loafs of bread

Answer 2

Answer:

18 loaf of breads are made form 12 cups of flour .  

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A recipe for a loaf of bread calls for  $\frac{2}{3}$ of a cup of flour.

$If\ Milo\ used\ 12\ cups\ of flour$

Thus

$1\ loaf = \frac{2}{3}\ cups\ of\ flour$

Thus

$1\ cup\ of\ flour = \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} }\ loaf$

Now calculate for 12 cups of flours .

$12\ cup\ of\ flour = \frac{12}{\frac{2}{3}}\ loaf$

 $12\ cup\ of\ flour = \frac{3\times 12}{2}\ loaf$            

                                    = 18 loaf of bread .

Therefore 18 loaf of breads are made form 12 cups of flour .
