Question

Kevin uses `1 1/3` cups of flour to make one loaf of bread, `2 2/3` cups of flour to make two loaves of bread, and `4` cups of flour to make three loaves of bread. How many cups of flour will he use to make four loaves of bread?

Answer 1

`5 1/3 "cups"`

Explanation:

All you have to do is convert `1 1/3 "cups"` into improper fraction to make it easier then simply multiply it to n number of loaves you want to bake.

`1 1/3 "cups" = 4/3 "cups"`

1 loaf:
`4/3 * 1 = 4/3 "cups"`

2 loaves:
`4/3 * 2 = 8/3 "cups" or 2 2/3 "cups"`

3 loaves:
`4/3 * 3 = 12/3 "cups" or 4 "cups"`

4 loaves:
`4/3 * 4 = 16/3 "cups" or 5 1/3 "cups"`
