Let’s check out your problem:

A baker uses 3 cups (c) of flour to bake 2 loaves of bread. If 1 pound (lb) of flour is equivalent to 
3(1)/(3)c, how many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 
10lb-bag of flour?
(Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)

A baker uses 33 cups (c) of flour to bake 22 loaves of bread. If 11 pound (lb) of flour is equivalent to 313c 3 \frac{1}{3} \mathrm{c} , how many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10lb 10 \mathrm{lb} -bag of flour?\newline(Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)

Q. A baker uses 33 cups (c) of flour to bake 22 loaves of bread. If 11 pound (lb) of flour is equivalent to 313c 3 \frac{1}{3} \mathrm{c} , how many loaves of bread can the baker make with a 10lb 10 \mathrm{lb} -bag of flour?\newline(Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
  1. Determine flour cups in 1010lb-bag: Determine how many cups of flour are in a 10lb10 \, \text{lb}-bag.\newlineWe know that 11 pound of flour is equivalent to 3133\frac{1}{3} cups. Therefore, we need to multiply the number of pounds by the number of cups per pound to find the total number of cups in a 10lb10 \, \text{lb}-bag.\newline 10 lb×313 c/lb10 \text{ lb} \times 3\frac{1}{3} \text{ c/lb}\newline10×10310 \times \frac{10}{3} \newline=1003= \frac{100}{3} cups
  2. Calculate loaves with total cups: Calculate how many loaves of bread can be made with the total cups of flour.\newlineWe know that 33 cups of flour are needed for 22 loaves of bread. Therefore, we need to divide the total number of cups by the number of cups needed for 22 loaves to find the total number of loaves that can be made.\newline 1003c÷3c2loaves\frac{100}{3} \, \text{c} \div \frac{3 \, \text{c}}{2 \, \text{loaves}}\newline=1003×23= \frac{100}{3} \times \frac{2}{3}\newline=2009= \frac{200}{9} loaves
  3. Round loaves to nearest whole number: Round the number of loaves to the nearest whole number.\newlineSince we cannot make a fraction of a loaf, we round down to the nearest whole number.\newline 2009\frac{200}{9} rounds down to 2222 loaves.
