The baker has 64 grams of salt. The salt is divided equally among 10 recipes. How many grams of salt does each recipe get?

Question

Write your answer as a decimal. ______________ grams of salt.

Answer 1

To find out how many grams of salt each recipe gets, you need to divide the total amount of salt by the number of recipes.

So, you will calculate:

\[ \text{Amount of salt per recipe} = \frac{64 \text{ grams}}{10} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{Amount of salt per recipe} = 6.4 \text{ grams} \]

Therefore, each recipe gets 6.4 grams of salt.
