A baker is making walnut bread. The recipe uses 2/3 cups of walnuts for each bread recipe. The baker has 7 1/2 cups of walnuts. What is the maximum numbers of full recipe of walnut bread the baker can make?

Respuesta :

Answer:

11 breads

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

1 bread recipe = 1 bread

From the above question, we know that:

2/3 cups of walnut = 1 bread

7 1/2 cups of walnut = x breads

Cross Multiply

2/3 cups × x breads = 7 1/2 cups × 1 bread

x breads = 7 1/2 cups × 1 bread/2/3 cups

x breads = 7 1/2 ÷ 2/3

x breads = 15/2 ÷ 2/3

x breads = 15/2 × 3/2

x breads = 45/4

x breads = 11 1/4 breads

Maximum full recipe = 11 breads.

Therefore, the MAXIMUM numbers of full recipe of walnut bread the baker can make is 11 breads.
