You are baking loaves of zucchini bread for the bake sale. The recipe requires 2/3 cup of oil for each loaf. You have 6 cups of oil. How many loaves can you bake? help would be appriciated!
6/(2/3) = 6 * 3/2 = 18/2 = 9 Loaves.
To find out how many loaves of zucchini bread you can bake with 6 cups of oil, you need to divide the total amount of oil by the amount required for each loaf.
Since each loaf requires 2/3 cup of oil, you can set up a division problem like this:
6 cups of oil ÷ (2/3 cup of oil per loaf)
To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal (inverted fraction). The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2, so the division problem becomes:
6 cups of oil × (3/2 cups of oil per loaf)
Now, you can multiply straight across:
(6 × 3) cups of oil ÷ (2 × 1) cups of oil per loaf
= 18 cups of oil ÷ 2 cups of oil per loaf
= 9 loaves
Therefore, you can bake 9 loaves of zucchini bread with 6 cups of oil.
