A baker used 3 1/2 cups of flour to make 3 loaves of bread how may cups of flour are needed for 1 loaf

5 answers

To find out how many cups of flour are needed for 1 loaf of bread, you can divide the total amount of flour used by the number of loaves made.

The baker used \( 3 \frac{1}{2} \) cups of flour for 3 loaves. First, convert \( 3 \frac{1}{2} \) cups to an improper fraction:

\[ 3 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \text{ cups} \]

Now, divide \( \frac{7}{2} \) cups by 3 to find the amount of flour needed for 1 loaf:

\[ \text{Flour for 1 loaf} = \frac{7}{2} \div 3 = \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{6} \text{ cups} \]

So, \( \frac{7}{6} \) cups of flour is needed for 1 loaf of bread. This can also be expressed as \( 1 \frac{1}{6} \) cups.

If a toy car cost $189 and another doll cost $9 is the cost of the car 180 times the cost of the doll

To determine if the cost of the toy car is 180 times the cost of the doll, you can divide the cost of the car by the cost of the doll.

The cost of the toy car is $189, and the cost of the doll is $9.

Calculate the ratio:

\[ \frac{189}{9} = 21 \]

So, the cost of the toy car is 21 times the cost of the doll, not 180 times. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

U divided

It seems you are interested in dividing the cost of the toy car by the cost of the doll to see if the cost of the car is 180 times the cost of the doll. Let's clarify the calculation again.

  • Cost of the toy car: $189
  • Cost of the doll: $9

Now, divide the cost of the car by the cost of the doll:

\[ \frac{189}{9} = 21 \]

So, the toy car costs 21 times the cost of the doll, not 180 times.
