Question

Priya has a recipe for banana bread she uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 3 loads of bread how many cups does it take for 1 loaf of bread

Answer 1

Answer: 2 1/2 cups of flour  will make 1 Loaf of bread.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 loafs of bread can be made from  71/2 cups of flour

1 Loaf of  bread  will require = x cups of flour

By cross multiplication , we have

(1 Loaf of  bread x 71/2 cups of flour) = 3 loafs of bread X x cups of flour

x cups of flour = (1 Loaf of  bread x 71/2 cups of flour)/ 3 loafs of bread

=15/2 X 1/3 = 5/2 = 2 1/2

OR  

7.5 /3  =2.5 = 2 1/2 cups of flour
