Paul is making loaves of raisin bread to sell at a fundraising event. The recipe calls for 1/3 cup of raisins for each loaf, and Paul has 3 1/4 cups of raisins
a) How many loaves can Paul make?
b) How many cups of raisins will he have left over?
Go step by step to how to do this question please!!
Somebody answer this please I need to get this i have a test in 20 minutes
a. Divide 3 1/4 by 1/3. Remember to use a whole number since you can't have a fraction of a loaf.
b. Subtract the answer from a from 3 1/3
Give me another question for me to answer please i want to make sure i know this
i did
3 1/4 divided by 1/3
13/4 x 3/1 =
39/4
what do i do next?

3 : 1
C.

D.

To find the answer to your question, we can follow these steps:
a) To determine the number of loaves Paul can make, we need to divide the total number of cups of raisins he has by the amount of raisins required per loaf.
1. Convert the mixed number "3 1/4 cups" to an improper fraction:
3 1/4 = (3 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 13/4
2. Divide the total amount of raisins by the amount required per loaf:
13/4 ÷ 1/3
Invert the dividing fraction by taking its reciprocal:
13/4 × 3/1
3. Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(13 × 3) / (4 × 1) = 39/4
The result is the number of loaves Paul can make, which is equivalent to 39/4 or 9 3/4 loaves.
b) To determine the amount of raisins left over, we need to subtract the amount used from the total amount:
1. Subtract the amount of raisins used from the total amount of raisins:
13/4 - 1/3
To perform this subtraction, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12:
Multiply 13/4 by 3/3 to get the same denominator:
39/12
Multiply 1/3 by 4/4 to get the same denominator:
4/12
2. Subtract the numerators:
39/12 - 4/12 = 35/12
The result is the remaining amount of raisins, which is equivalent to 35/12 or 2 11/12 cups.
Therefore, Paul can make 9 3/4 loaves of raisin bread and will have 2 11/12 cups of raisins left over.
