A restaurant uses a 15-pound bag of flour in 4 days. Each day, the bag of flour gets lighter as more flour is used. How much does the average amount of flour in the bag change each day? (Round to the nearest hundredth.)(1 point)
pounds
To find the average amount of flour that the bag changes each day, we need to divide the total change in amount by the number of days.
The total change in amount is the initial amount of flour (15 pounds) minus the final amount of flour (0 pounds), which is 15-0 = 15 pounds.
Since the flour gets lighter each day, we know that the change in amount is negative.
So, the average amount of flour that the bag changes each day is -15 pounds / 4 days = -3.75 pounds/day.
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the average amount of flour that the bag changes each day is -3.75 pounds/day. Answer: \boxed{-3.75}.
To calculate the average amount of flour the bag changes each day, we need to divide the total change in weight by the number of days.
First, let's calculate the total change in weight by finding the difference between the starting weight (15 pounds) and the final weight (0 pounds).
Total change in weight = 15 pounds - 0 pounds = 15 pounds
Next, we'll divide the total change in weight by the number of days.
Average amount of flour change per day = Total change in weight / Number of days
Average amount of flour change per day = 15 pounds / 4 days = 3.75 pounds
Therefore, the average amount of flour in the bag changes by 3.75 pounds each day.
