A restaurant uses 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.)

The average amount of flour in the bag changes by $\frac{15}{4} = \boxed{3.75}$ pounds per day.
can you try again and explain your process
To find the average amount of flour in the bag that changes each day, we need to divide the total amount of flour used in the 4 days by the number of days.
The total amount of flour used in 4 days is 15 pounds.
So, the average amount of flour in the bag that changes each day is $\frac{15}{4} = 3.75$ pounds. This means that, on average, 3.75 pounds of flour is used each day, causing the bag to get lighter.
The total amount of flour used in 4 days is 15 pounds.
So, the average amount of flour in the bag that changes each day is $\frac{15}{4} = 3.75$ pounds. This means that, on average, 3.75 pounds of flour is used each day, causing the bag to get lighter.
