Question

A baker uses 4.5 pounds of flour daily

how many ounces of flour will he use in two weeks, use words, numbers, or pictures to explain your thinking

the bakers recipe for a loaf of bread calls for 12 ounces of flour. if he uses all of his flour to make loaves of bread, how many full loaves can he make?

Answer 1

Answer: 4.5 pounds of flour equals to 72 ounces of flour. There are 14 days in 2 weeks, so 14 times 72 equals 1008 ounces of flour. If the baker uses all their 72 ounces of flour in one day to make loaves of bread, they will make 6 loaves of bread. That is also 84 loaves of bread if they make loaves of bread for 2 weeks straight.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: Well, one lbs (pound) is equal to 16 oz (ounces)

So take the 4.5 lbs and multiply it by the 16 oz. That'll give you 224 oz

Then take the 224 oz and multiply that by 14, which is the number of days from two weeks. 224 multiplied by 14 is 3,136

To find the loaves of bread, take the 3,136 and divide it by 12, which gives you 261.3, or 261 1/3
