Brian is baking cookies for Zachary's birthday party if an Bryan uses 1 1/4 cups of flour for every 10 cookies if Brian needs to make 50 cookies and he have 4 cups of flour how much more flower Brian need to finish baking
5/4 cup of flour makes 10 cookies.
(5/4)*5 cup of flour makes 50 cookies.
= 25/4 OR 6 1/4 OR 6.25 cups.
Since he already has 4 cups, he needs 2.25 more cops to finish baking.
Well, it seems like Brian might need a little help with his baking math! Let's break it down.
Brian needs to make 50 cookies, and if he uses 1 1/4 cups of flour for every 10 cookies, we can find out how much flour he needs for all the cookies.
If 10 cookies require 1 1/4 cups of flour, then one cookie would require 1/10 of that amount, which is 1/10 * 1 1/4 cups = 1/10 * 5/4 cups = 5/40 cups = 1/8 cups of flour.
Now, since Brian needs to make 50 cookies, he'll need 50 * 1/8 cups = 6 1/4 cups of flour.
If Brian already has 4 cups of flour, then he needs 6 1/4 cups - 4 cups = 2 1/4 cups more flour to finish baking.
So, Brian needs 2 1/4 cups more flour to finish baking those delicious cookies. Good luck, Brian!
To calculate the amount of flour Brian needs to finish baking, we first need to determine how many batches of cookies he will need to make.
Since Brian uses 1 1/4 cups of flour for every 10 cookies, we can calculate the number of batches as follows:
50 cookies / 10 cookies per batch = 5 batches
Now, we can figure out the total amount of flour Brian will need for the 5 batches of cookies:
5 batches * 1 1/4 cups of flour = 6 1/4 cups of flour
Since Brian already has 4 cups of flour, we can subtract this amount from the total amount needed:
6 1/4 cups of flour - 4 cups of flour = 2 1/4 cups of flour
Therefore, Brian will need an additional 2 1/4 cups of flour to finish baking the cookies.
To find out how much more flour Brian needs to finish baking, we need to calculate the total amount of flour he has used and then subtract it from the amount he has available.
First, let's determine the amount of flour Brian needs to make 50 cookies. We know that Brian uses 1 1/4 cups of flour for every 10 cookies. Therefore, for 50 cookies, he will need:
(1 1/4 cups / 10 cookies) × 50 cookies = 6 1/4 cups
Now, let's subtract the amount of flour Brian has already used from the total needed. Brian has 4 cups of flour, so:
Amount of additional flour needed = Total needed - Total available
= 6 1/4 cups - 4 cups
To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, since 4 is divisible by 4, we can convert 6 1/4 cups to an improper fraction with the same denominator.
6 1/4 cups = (4 × 6 + 1) / 4 = 25/4 cups
Now, we can perform the subtraction:
Amount of additional flour needed = 25/4 cups - 4 cups
To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 4:
Amount of additional flour needed = 25/4 cups - (16/4 cups)
= 9/4 cups
So, Brian needs an additional 9/4 cups (or 2 1/4 cups) of flour to finish baking the cookies.
