Question

Priya has a recipe for banana bread. She uses 712 cups of flour to make 3 loaves of banana bread. Andre will follow the same recipe. He will make b loaves of banana bread using f cups of flour. Which of these equations represents the relationship between b and f? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

$2f =5b$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$7\frac{1}{2}\ cups = 3\ loaves$

Required

Determine the relationship between b loaves and f cups

The question shows that the relationships between cups of flour and loaves of bread is direct proportional.

So, we have:

$f\ cups = b\ loaves$

and

$7\frac{1}{2}\ cups = 3\ loaves$

Cross Multiply:

$f * 3 = 7\frac{1}{2} * b$

$3f = 7\frac{1}{2}b$

Convert fraction to improper numbers

$3f = \frac{15}{2}b$

Cross Multiply

$2 * 3f = 15b$

$6f = 15b$

Divide through by 3

$2f =5b$

Hence, the expression is: $2f =5b$
