Question

Mr. Burrows has cups of flour.

He divides the flour equally into 5 containers.
He uses all the flour in 1 container to make pie crusts.
He uses cups of flour for each pie crust.
How many pie crusts does Mr. Burrows make?

Answer 1

The question is incomplete :

However, assume Number of cups of flower 10

Number of flour cups for each pie 1/4

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cups of flower = 10

Number of flower cups per crust pie = 1/4 cups

Since, the cups of flower was divided equally into to 5 containers;

Number of flower cups per container :

10 / 5 = 2

Each container has 2 cups of flower each.

1 container was used in making crust pie :

The number of crust pies made is:

Cups of flower in container / cups of flower per crust pie

= 2 ÷ 1/4

= 2 * 4 /1

= 8 crust pies
