Answer 1

Answer:

Liam

Step-by-step explanation:

First we can change 12% to 0.12 then multiply 0.12 with 5 and get 0.6, so Stan has 0.6 of the flour, and we see that 0.11 is greater than 0.7 and 0.6

Answer 2

Stan - %12 of 5 = 0.6 of a pound

Liam - %11 of 5 = 0.55 of a pound

Louise - He used 0.7 of a pound which is %14 of 5.

Louise used the greatest amount of flour from the can. 0.7 is greater than 0.6 and 0.55.
