Alana has 12.5 cups of flour with which she is baking four loaves of raisin bread and one large pretzel. The pretzel requires 2.5 cups of flour to make. How much flour is in each loaf of raisin bread? Explain the steps to follow to get the answer.
To find out how much flour is in each loaf of raisin bread, we need to first subtract the amount of flour used for the pretzel from the total amount of flour Alana has.
12.5 cups - 2.5 cups = 10 cups
Alana is using 10 cups of flour for the four loaves of raisin bread. To find out how much flour is in each loaf, we need to divide the total amount of flour by the number of loaves.
10 cups / 4 loaves = 2.5 cups
Therefore, each loaf of raisin bread contains 2.5 cups of flour.
