Jordan bakes two 12-inch loaves of bread and cuts them in to inch slices. (7.NS.3) 3 pts (3 points) How many slices will Jordan have? slices. How many total inches of bread were cut in to slices? inches. How much bread will be left over? inches.

Answer 1

To determine how many slices Jordan will have, how many total inches of bread were cut into slices, and how much bread will be left over, let’s break down the problem step by step.

1. Total length of bread:

   • Jordan bakes two 12-inch loaves of bread.
   • Total length = 2 loaves × 12 inches/loaf = 24 inches of bread.

2. How many slices can be made:

   • The question mentions that the loaves are cut into inch slices. This means each slice is 1 inch thick.
   • The total number of slices = Total length of bread / thickness of each slice.
   • In this case:
     • Total number of slices = 24 inches (total length) / 1 inch (per slice) = 24 slices.

3. Total inches of bread cut into slices:

   • Since the entire length of the bread is cut into slices and there are no leftovers because we're dividing it completely into 1-inch slices:
   • Total inches of bread cut into slices = 24 inches.

4. How much bread will be left over?

   • Since we cut the entire 24 inches of bread into 1-inch slices, there should be no leftover bread:
   • Leftover bread = 0 inches.

So, the answers are:

• Total number of slices: 24 slices
• Total inches of bread cut into slices: 24 inches
• Amount of bread left over: 0 inches
