to find out how many batches of bread Hirami can make, we need to add up the total amount of flour he has and then divide by the amount of flour needed per batch.
Hirami has:
- 12 cups of flour in a bag
- 6 cups of flour in a jar
so, the total amount of flour he has is (12 + 6) = 18 cups.
each batch of bread requires 3 cups of flour.
now, we divide the total amount of flour by the amount of flour needed per batch:
-> [tex]Number of batches = \frac{Total # of flour}{Flour needed per batch}[/tex]
we can use this equation by inputting the information that we know.
("x" will be used for the number of batches because that is what we are looking for)
-> x = [tex]\frac{18(total # of flour)}{3(needed per batch)}[/tex]
-> x = 6
Hirami can make 6 batches of bread.
