Question 1034702: A banana nut bread recipe calls for 5 cups of flour. If 4 cups of flour weigh a pound, how many recipes can be made from a 5-pound bag of flour?
Do you take 5 cups of flour multiplied by 4 cups of flour to get 20 recipes from a 5-pound bag of flour? Answer: 20 recipes.

Well, not quite.
A 5-pound bag gives you 20 cups alright, but you need 5 cups for one recipe.
Thus you can only make 20/5 = 4 recipes.
