Ivanna makes loaves of bread using wheat flour and corn flour. She uses 0.45kg of wheat flour to make each loaf of bread. If she uses a combined total of 3.20kg of flour to make 5 loaves, how much corn flour is used in each loaf?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you need to find out how much wheat flour is used in 5 loaves. Can you take the challenge?

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Yes

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

So do we need to multiply 3.20 by 5

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

16 is fifteen loaves

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, because that is the combined flour. We are looking for the wheat flour alone.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Ok

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

2.25

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Is 5 loaves

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

So then what do we do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, to find the corn flour in 5 loaves, subtract the wheat flour from the total flour.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

0.95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, you solved the problem. Good job. :)

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Dude

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

It was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uh, I realize. The in each loaf part at the end.... 0.95/5=the answer

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

So its a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I have failed you.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

What is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, just divide it out.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.95/5=0.19 kg

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

0.19

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

One more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup.

Kala bought 3 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of $46.50 . Of that total, $2.10 was tax. What was the price of each CD before tax?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract the tax from your total.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Ok

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

44.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, now because all the CD's were the same price, divide 44.4 by 3

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

14.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, and I'm 100% sure, Sorry about the first one again.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Lets see

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Yes it was right

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Woohoo.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):
