How big is the canister? It is cylindrical, 3.5 inches across and 7 inches tall.
What is the net weight of the contents of 1 canister? 15 ounces.
How much does a canister cost? $2.49
How much does a cup of breadcrumbs weigh? I'm not sure, but maybe something from the nutritional label will help.
This problem is actually fairly simple once you think about it a bit:
7 Meatloafs: 8.75 cups of BC
Each can is 15oz and has (14/3) cups of BC
Therefore: Each cup of BC is 15/(14/3)oz
You need 8.75 cups and therefore 28.125oz of breadcrumbs (8.75cups x 15/(14.3)oz)
With this we now know that for 7 loafs you need 28.125oz of breadcrumbs.
Each can has 15oz of breadcrumbs.
28.125/15 = 1.875 cups of meatloaf (Round to your desire)
You can plug in your own numbers and follow the steps, shouldn't be too hard.
You're welcome, this problem sucked://
You’re planning on making 8 meatloafs for a party. You go to the store to buy breadcrumbs. How many canisters do you need?
2.65
To calculate the number of canisters you need to buy, we need to determine how many cups of breadcrumbs are in each canister and then divide that by the amount of breadcrumbs needed for 7 meatloafs.
First, let's find out how much a cup of breadcrumbs weighs. Typically, the weight of a cup of breadcrumbs can vary, so we need specific information. It's best to check the nutritional label on the canister or search for a reliable source online.
Now, let's assume the nutritional label on the canister states that 1 cup of breadcrumbs weighs 4 ounces.
The recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of breadcrumbs for 1 meatloaf, and you need to make 7 meatloafs for the party. So, the total amount of breadcrumbs needed is:
1 1/4 cups * 7 meatloafs = 8.75 cups of breadcrumbs
Next, we need to convert the total amount of breadcrumbs needed into ounces:
8.75 cups * 4 ounces per cup = 35 ounces of breadcrumbs
Now, let's determine how many canisters you need to buy. Each canister contains 15 ounces of breadcrumbs, so we divide the total amount needed by the amount in each canister:
35 ounces / 15 ounces per canister = 2.33 canisters
Since you cannot purchase a fraction of a canister, you will need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you should buy 3 canisters of breadcrumbs.
Remember, if you have access to more accurate information regarding the weight of a cup of breadcrumbs or the nutritional label on the canister, use that instead to get a more precise answer.
What kind of party serves meatloaf?
7 meatloafs requires one recipe seven times, or
1 1/4 C breadcrumbs*7=8 3/4 cups checktat
number cannisters= 8.75cups/(XXXX cups/cannister)
So you need to determine weight of a cannister, and weight of a cup of breadcrumbs.
cannisters=8.78cups*xxxxounces/cup/(15oz/cannister)
so you need xxxx ounces per cp
