Question

Anne made a recipe for miniature bread loaves that called for 7/8 of a cup of whole-wheat flour. If the recipe made 7 equal-sized loaves of bread, how many cups of whole-wheat flour did each loaf contain?
O. 1/8
O. 1/7
O. 8/49
O. 49/8

Answer 1

Answer:

Each loaf contained  $\frac{1}{8}$  a cup of whole-wheat ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Anne made a recipe for miniature bread loaves that called for 7/8

   of a cup of whole-wheat flour

∵ The recipe made 7 equal-sized loaves of bread

→ That means 7/8 of a cup of whole-wheat flour maks 7 equal-sized

   loaves of bread

→ By using the ratio method

→  Cup    :    Loaves

→    $\frac{7}{8}$        :    7

→    x        :    1

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ x × 7 =  $\frac{7}{8}$ × 1

∴ 7x =  $\frac{7}{8}$

→ Divide both sides by 7 to find x

∴ x =  $\frac{7}{8}$ ÷ 7

∴ x = $\frac{1}{8}$

∴ Each loaf contained  $\frac{1}{8}$  a cup of whole-wheat
