Question

A baker made 6 pounds of dough. He used 8 9 of the dough to make sandwich rolls. How much of the dough is left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3 pound of dough is left

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of dough available = 6 pounds

The amount used in making sandwich rolls = 8/9 of the total amount

= $\frac{8}{9} \times6 = 5\frac{1}{3} pounds$

Therefore, amount of dough left over $= 6- 5\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$

Hence, 2/3 pounds of dough is left
