Question

Jorge has 24 ounces of baking powder to use for baking loaves of bread. if each loaf of bread requires 1/4 of an ounce of baking powder, how many loaves of bread will Jorge be able to bake?

Answer 1

96 loaves of bread

Explanation:

Total baking powder = 24 ounces

Baking powder used per loaf of bread = 1/4 of an ounce

loaves of bread will Jorge be able to bake = Total baking powder / Baking powder used per loaf of bread

= 24 ÷ 1/4

= 24 × 4/1

= 96 loaves of bread

loaves of bread will Jorge be able to bake = 96 loaves of bread
