A bakery formula developed by Awesome Bread calls for 6 1/2 oz. of baking soda for 200 loaves. Joyce wants to adapt the recipe to go into buisness for herself, but she only wants to make 30 loaves. How much baking soda will she need?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Divide 200 / 6.5 to see how much she needs for 1 loaf.

anonymous · Answer

Or we can set up a proportion..

$\dfrac{200}{6.5} = \dfrac{30}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve for 'x'

anonymous · Answer

$200x = 195$

Divide 200 to both sides..what's 195 / 200?

anonymous · Answer

0.975?

Yes, so that is how much baking powder she needs for 30 loaves.
