Answer: 16 and one third lbs

7/3 is the amount of flour needed for one loaf, so you multiply that by 7

The answer is 49/3, or 16 and one third

Answer:

16 1/3 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a ratio to solve

7 lbs x lbs

-------------- = -------------

3 loaves 7 loaves

Using cross products

7 * 7 = 3x

49 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

49/3 = 3x/3

16 1/3 lbs

Answer:

Kirasent 16 and Ryan sent 96

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this because Kira is x-8 and Ryan is 4x. 4x-x-8=112 is equal to 5x=120. So x=24.Kira has 16 when plugging in x and Ryan has 96 because 4 times 24 is 96.
