You're planning on making 4 meatloafs for a party. You go to the store to buy breadcrumbs, and see they are sold by the canister. How many canisters do you need to buy?

Question

•How much breadcrumbs does the recipe call for? It calls for 1 1/4 cups of breadcrumbs.

1 canister has 1/3 cups per serving and has 14 servings per container.

How many containers do you need to buy for the recipe?

Answer 1

If it's 1 1/4 cups of breadcrumbs for each meatloaf, you'll need a total of 5 cups.

1/3 * 14 = 14/3 = 4 2/3 cups in one canister
