The bakery bought 4 bags of flour containing 3.5 kg each. 0.475 kg of flour is needed to make a batch of muffins, and 0.65 kg is needed to make a loaf of bread.if 4 batches of muffins and 5 loaves of bread are baked, how much flour will be left in kg?
Answer
4 bags of flour containing 3.5 kg each
The total of flour: 4 x 3.5 = 14 kg.
4 batches of muffins need: 4 x 0.475 kg = 1.9 kg
5 loaves of bread need: 5 x 0.65 kg = 3.25 kg
Total flour used : 1.9 + 3.25 = 5.15 kg
The flour left: 14 - 5.15 = 8.85 kg
