A restaurant uses a 15 pound bag of flour in 4 days. Each day, the bag of flour gets lighter as more flour is used. How much does the average amount of flour in the bag change each day? Round to the nearest hundredth
The average amount of flour used each day is 15 pounds / 4 days = <<15/4=3.75>>3.75 pounds/day.
Since this value represents the average amount of flour taken out each day, it is also the average amount by which the weight of the bag decreases each day. Hence, the average amount of flour in the bag changes each day is approximately 3.75 pounds.
To find the average amount of flour that the bag changes each day, we can divide the total change in weight by the number of days.
First, let's find the total change in weight of the bag.
Since the bag starts with 15 pounds of flour and is used over 4 days, the total change in weight is 15 pounds - 0 pounds, or 15 pounds.
Next, we divide the total change in weight by the number of days:
15 pounds / 4 days = 3.75 pounds per day.
Therefore, the average amount of flour in the bag changes by approximately 3.75 pounds per day.
