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
To find the average amount of flour that changes each day, we can divide the total amount of flour used (15 pounds) by the number of days (4).
15 pounds / 4 days = 3.75 pounds
Therefore, the average amount of flour in the bag changes by 3.75 pounds each day.
To find the average amount of flour the bag loses each day, we need to divide the total amount of flour lost by the number of days.
Since the bag starts at 15 pounds and is used up completely in 4 days, the total amount of flour lost is 15 pounds.
Thus, to find the average amount of flour the bag loses each day, we divide 15 pounds by 4 days:
15 pounds รท 4 days = 3.75 pounds
Therefore, the average amount of flour in the bag changes by 3.75 pounds each day.
