Given the value of the pound of bag of flour used for 6 cakes, the amount of flour used for each cake is 0.125 or 1/8 pound bag of flour.
How much flour is used for each cake?
Let "y" represent the amount of flour used for each cake.
Given that;
- 3/4 pound bag of flour to use for 6 cakes
- y pound bag of flour to use for 1 cake
We simply cross multiply
1 cake × 3/4 pound bag of flour = 6 cakes × y
y = 3/4 ÷ 6
y = 0.125 or 1/8 pound bag of flour
Therefore, given the value of the pound of bag of flour used for 6 cakes, the amount of flour used for each cake is 0.125 or 1/8 pound bag of flour
