Question

Brandon can make 5 loaves of bread with 6 cups of flour . how many loaves of bread can you make with 24 cups of flour?

Answer 1

Let's use a proportion.

5/6 = x/24

Cross multiply and solve for x.

Answer 2

With 6 cups, 5 loaves of bread can be made.
Divide 24 by 6 and you get 4
Multiply 5 by 4 to get the # of loaves for 24 cups
5x4=20
Brandon can make 20 loaves of bread with 24 cups of flour
