Lila decided to make more baked goods for the bake sale. She used 1/8 lb less flour to make bread than to make cookies. She used
1/4 lb more flour to make cookies than to make brownies. If she used 1/2 lb of flour to make the bread, how much flour did she use to make the brownies?
Ok so we are trying to find out how much flour she used to make brownies so we already know that she used 1/2 flour to make bread and She uses 1/8 flour less flour to make bread than to make cookies so if we add 1/2 and 1/8 we will get the amount of flour she used to make the cookies so 1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8 so now that we have the amount of flour she used to make the cookies we know that that is 1/4 more flour than brownies so if we subtract 5/8 by 1/4 we will get are answer to how much flour she uses to make brownies so 5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8 and that's your answer do you understand?
