Question

The bakers fits 26 rolls on to a pan that measures 1 5/8ft2. How many square feet does the baker use for each roll

Answer 1

Answer: 1/16 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The baker put 26 rolls into a pan that has an area of 1⁵/₈ ft².

Each roll is therefore taking up a space of:

= Area/ Number of rolls

Convert the fraction to an improper fraction:

1 ⁵/₈ = 13/8

= 13/8 ÷ 26

= 13/8 * 1/26

= 13/208

= 1/16 ft²
