Amy uses 8 cups of flour to make 3 identical loaves of bread.How much flour is in each loaf?
I think it is division and I got 2 2/3 cups of flour. Is this correct?
Right again! :-)
Yes, you are correct! To determine how much flour is in each loaf of bread, you need to divide the total amount of flour used (8 cups) by the number of loaves (3).
To do this, you can set up a division problem:
8 cups ÷ 3 loaves
When you divide 8 by 3, you get 2 with a remainder of 2. This means that each loaf of bread will have 2 cups of flour with a remaining 2 cups to be distributed among the loaves.
To express this in mixed fraction form, you would write it as:
2 2/3 cups of flour in each loaf.
So, your answer of 2 2/3 cups of flour in each loaf is indeed correct! Well done!
