Question

A baker is making bread dough. He uses 3 cups of flour for every 8 ounces of water. How many cups of flour will he use if he uses 96 ounces of water? *

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the fraction we use to solve this problem $\frac{Ounces}{Flour}$

Fractions are $\frac{8}{3}$ and $\frac{96}{x}$

We now ask ourselves

$8 * x = 96\\x = 12$

Since whatever we do to the numerator we have to to the same to the denominator, we multiply 3 and 12

$3 * 12 = x\\x = 36$

Hope this helps!
