Dorian’s bread recipe calls for 4 eggs for every 1 ½ pounds of flour you use. If he uses 3 pounds of flour, how many eggs would he need to make the bread? -Describe step by step process ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

Recipe is:   4  eggs      for      1 1/2   pounds of flour

that is equal to       4 eggs    for   3/2  pounds of flour

Then we can apply a rule of three

If     3/2  pounds of flour     is for   4  eggs

then  3 pounds of flour        is for   x  ??

(3/2)*x =  3*4

(3/2)*x = 12     ⇒  3*x  = 24

x = 24/3   ⇒    x  = 8
