Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul is making bread using a recipe. The amount of flour he uses is proportional to the number of loaves of bread. He uses 11 1/4 cups of flour to make 5 loaves of bread. If Paul used 18 cups of flour, and then sold the loaves of bread he made at a bake sale for $2.50 each, how much money would Paul make from his bread sales?

Step 1

Find out how many loaves of bread he can produce from 18 cups of flour

11 1/4 cups of flour = 5 loaves of bread

18 cups of flour = x loaves of bread

Cross Multiply

11 1/4 cups × x loaves = 18 cups × 5 loaves

x loaves = 18 cups × 5 loaves/ 11 1/4 cups

x loaves = 90 ÷ 11 1/4

x loaves = 90 ÷ 45/4

x loaves = 90 × 4/45

x loaves = 8 loaves of bread

He can produce 8 loaves of bread from 18 cups of flour.

Step 2

We are told that:

1 loaf of bread costs $2.50

Hence,

1 loaf of bread = $2.50

8 loaves of bread = $x

Cross Multiply

$x = 8 loaves of bread × $2.50

$x = $20

Therefore, Paul made $20 from his bread sales

Lucy has 4 more than 1/3 the number of pairs of socks as her sister. Lucy has at most 9 pairs of socks. How many pairs of socks
Volgvan

Answer: at most 15 pairs of socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pair of socks of her sister be x , and let the number of pairs Lucy has be y.

Since , Lucy has 4 more than 1/3 the number of pairs of socks as her sister, this means that

\frac{1}{3}x + 4 = y    .............................. equation 1

Also ,  Lucy has at most 9 pairs of socks , this means that

y\leq 9 ....................................... equation 2

Equating the two equations , we have

\frac{1}{3}x + 4 \leq 9

multiply through by 3

x + 12\leq 27

subtract 12 from both sides

x\leq 15

Therefore , the sister has at most 15 pairs of socks
