a restaurant used a 15 pound bag of flour in 4 days, each day the bag of flour gets lighter as more flour is used. how much does the average amount of flour in the bag change each day? ( round to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

To find the average amount of flour used from the 15-pound bag of flour over the 4 days, we first need to determine the total amount of flour used and then divide it by the number of days.

1. Total flour used: 15 pounds
2. Number of days: 4 days

Now, we calculate the average amount of flour used per day:

\[ \text{Average flour used per day} = \frac{\text{Total flour}}{\text{Number of days}} = \frac{15 \text{ pounds}}{4 \text{ days}} = 3.75 \text{ pounds/day} \]

Thus, the average amount of flour in the bag changes by 3.75 pounds each day (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
