Question 9 • {3822C} PRE ALG 8C

Dianna made several loaves of bread yesterday. Each loaf required 2 and 2 thirds cups of flour. All together, she used 13 and 1 third cups of flour. How many loaves did Dianna make?

Answer
A
7 loaves
B
3 loaves
C
4 loaves
D
5 loaves

Explanation

Divide the total flour by the amount needed for each loaf: 13 1/3 ÷ 2 2/3. Converting to improper fractions gives 40/3 ÷ 8/3 = 40/3 × 3/8 = 5. Dianna made 5 loaves, so the correct choice is B) 5 loaves.
