A baker has 9kg of butter. he uses 3/7kg ot bake 5 loaves of bread. How many loaves can he bake with the butter?
9 divided by 3/7 = 21
so, he can make 21 * 5 loaves = 105 loaves
algebraically, you want to convert loaves to kg
you can always multiply by 1 without changing anything
5 loaves = 3/7 kg
so,
1 = 5loaves/(3/7)kg
so,
9kg * 5 loaves/(3/7)kg = 45/(3/7)loaves = 105 loaves
thanks
To find out how many loaves the baker can bake with 9kg of butter, we need to determine how much butter is required for one loaf of bread.
Given that the baker uses 3/7kg of butter to bake 5 loaves of bread, we can calculate how much butter is needed for one loaf of bread by dividing the amount of butter used by the number of loaves produced.
3/7 kg ÷ 5 loaves = 3/7 kg × 1/5 = 3/35 kg
Therefore, the baker requires 3/35kg of butter for one loaf of bread.
To find out how many loaves the baker can make with 9kg of butter, we divide the total amount of butter by the amount of butter needed for one loaf.
9 kg ÷ (3/35 kg) = 9 kg × (35/3 kg) = 105 kg
Hence, the baker can bake approximately 105 loaves of bread with 9kg of butter.
