Molly slices a 16-ounce loaf of bread into 16 pieces and serves each piece on a plate, as shown.
Does that mean the weight of the bread on each plate is 1 ounce?
4 rows of plates have 4 plates in each row. Each plate has 1 slice of bread on it. Some slices are bigger and some are smaller.
CLEAR CHECK
No, because not every piece of bread weighs 1 ounce.
Yes, because all 16 plates have a piece of bread.
Yes, because 16 ÷ 16 = 1.
No, because 16 pieces of bread weigh more than 1 loaf of bread.
No, because not every piece of bread weighs 1 ounce.
No, because not every piece of bread weighs 1 ounce.
The correct answer is: No, because not every piece of bread weighs 1 ounce.
To determine the weight of the bread on each plate, we need to divide the total weight of the loaf of bread by the number of pieces it was sliced into. In this case, the loaf of bread weighs 16 ounces and was sliced into 16 pieces.
Therefore, the weight of the bread on each plate would be 1 ounce if each piece of bread weighed exactly 1 ounce. However, since the statement mentions that some slices are bigger and some are smaller, it is likely that the weight of each slice varies. Hence, we cannot conclude that the weight of the bread on each plate is 1 ounce.
