Let's break down the problem step-by-step.
-
Total Length of Bread: Jordan bakes two 12-inch loaves of bread. The total length of bread is: \[ 2 \text{ loaves} \times 12 \text{ inches/loaf} = 24 \text{ inches} \]
-
Number of Slices: Each loaf is cut into 1-inch slices. Therefore, from the total of 24 inches, the number of slices Jordan can cut is: \[ 24 \text{ inches} \div 1 \text{ inch/slice} = 24 \text{ slices} \]
-
Total Inches of Bread Cut into 38 Slices: If bread is cut into 38 slices, and each slice is 1 inch thick, the total inches of bread used would be: \[ 38 \text{ slices} \times 1 \text{ inch/slice} = 38 \text{ inches} \]
However, we only have 24 inches of bread, so this indicates that all 24 inches of bread are used in slicing, and the 38 slices cannot be achieved from this amount of bread.
-
Bread Left Over: Since the total amount of bread Jordan prepared is 24 inches and he can't actually cut 38 inches of slices from that, the leftover bread calculation doesn't apply directly to the provided scenario. The leftover could be considered 0 inches since all the available bread can be sliced into 24 slices and no bread remains.
Summary of Answers:
- Total Slices Jordan will have: 24 slices
- Total inches of bread to cut into 38 slices: Not applicable, as Jordan only has 24 inches available.
- How much bread will be left over: 0 inches (after using all 24 inches for 24 slices).
