Question

A baker uses 5.5 pounds of flour daily.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). A baker uses 5.5 pounds of flour daily.

That means he uses 88 pounds of flour daily.

Therefore, number of ounces of flour used in two week (14 days) = 88×14 = 1232 oz

b). If recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 12 oz of flour

Therefore, in two weeks number of loves baked = 102.67 ≈ 103

c). Baker can ship a pack of 15 loaves of bread in a box.

Therefore, number of boxes = $\frac{\text{Number of loaves}}{\text{Number of loaves in a box}}$

= $\frac{103}{15}$

= 6.84

minimum number of boxes which can be exported will be 6.

d). The baker pays for sugar = $0.80 per pound

and paid for butter = $1.25 per pound

Then the expression for 6 pounds of butter and 20 pounds of sugar will be

= 0.80(pounds of sugar) + 1.25(pounds of butter)

= 0.80(20) + 1.25(6)

= 16 + 7.5

= $23.5

e). Chocolate sprinkles costs = $0.80 per pound

Total cost for 100 pounds of chocolate sprinkles = 100×0.80 = $80

$\frac{1}{10}$th of $80 = $\frac{80}{10}$

=$8
