A baker has a bag with 20 cups of flour. The baker plans to use the flour to make 4 loaves of bread. Each loaf of bread uses 3 1/3 cups of flour.

How many cups of flour will remain in the bag when the baker has finished making the bread?

To find the total amount of flour used to make 4 loaves of bread, we need to multiply the amount of flour used per loaf by the number of loaves:

3 1/3 cups of flour per loaf x 4 loaves = 13 1/3 cups of flour

Therefore, the baker will use 13 1/3 cups of flour to make the bread.

To find the amount of flour remaining in the bag, we need to subtract the amount used from the original amount:

20 cups of flour - 13 1/3 cups of flour = 6 2/3 cups of flour

Therefore, the baker will have 6 2/3 cups of flour remaining in the bag when finished making the bread.
