A recipe that makes 10 mini loaves of banana bread calls for 1 1/4 cups flour. How much flour is needed to make 2 dozen
10/1 1/4 = 8
24/8 = 3 cups of flour
To calculate the amount of flour needed to make 2 dozen mini loaves of banana bread, we need to figure out how many mini loaves are in 2 dozen.
Since there are 12 in a dozen, 2 dozen would be 12 x 2 = 24 mini loaves.
Now, we can use a ratio to determine the amount of flour needed:
1 1/4 cups flour for 10 mini loaves
x cups flour for 24 mini loaves
Set up the ratio:
1 1/4 cups / 10 mini loaves = x cups / 24 mini loaves
To find x (the amount of flour needed for 24 mini loaves), we multiply both sides of the equation by 24:
(1 1/4 cups / 10 mini loaves) * 24 mini loaves = x cups
(5/4 cups / 10 mini loaves) * 24 mini loaves = x cups
(5/4 cups) * (24/10) = x cups
120/40 = x cups
3 cups = x cups
Therefore, you would need 3 cups of flour to make 2 dozen mini loaves of banana bread.
To determine how much flour is needed to make 2 dozen mini loaves of banana bread, we first need to understand the ratio of flour to the number of loaves.
Given that the original recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of flour to make 10 mini loaves of banana bread, let's calculate the amount of flour required per loaf.
1 1/4 cups of flour is equivalent to 1 cup + 1/4 cup of flour.
We can divide the amount of flour by the number of loaves to find the amount of flour needed per loaf:
(1 1/4 cups) / (10 loaves) = 1/8 cup of flour per loaf
Now let's calculate the amount of flour needed for 2 dozen (24) mini loaves of banana bread.
To do this, we multiply the amount of flour per loaf by the number of loaves:
(1/8 cup) x (24 loaves) = 3 cups of flour
Therefore, to make 2 dozen mini loaves of banana bread, you would need 3 cups of flour.
10/1.25 = 24/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
