Question

You need to make 9 sourdough loaves, one sourdough loaf requires 500 grams of dough How many kilograms of dough do you need

Answer 1

Answer:

4.5 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 500 gms of dough is required to make one sourdough loaf.

And we need 9 such loaves.

We can find the required weight of dough simply by adding 500 gms , 9 times.

i.e. 500 gms + 500 gms + 500 gms + 500 gms + 500 gms + 500 gms + 500 gms + 500 gms + 500 gms = 4500 gms.

Or we can simply multiply 500 gms by 9 to get 4500 gms.

We know that 1 kilogram = 1000 grams.

So, dividing 4500 grams by 1000 to convert into kilogram.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{4500} {1000}\\\Rightarrow 4.5 kg$

So, the required weight of dough for making 9 sourdough loaves is 4.5 kg.
