What is asked in the problem?
How many loaves of nutbread did you make?


Given:
6%283%2F4%29 c of sugar was used baking muffins and nutbread.
1%281%2F2%29 c of sugar was used for the muffins.
it calls 1%283%2F4%29 c of sugar per loaf of nutbread.


Operation used :
Subtraction of fractions.
Division of fractions.

Subtract the total sugar used for muffins and nutbread and the sugar used for muffins. what will be left will be the sugar that is used for nutbread.

Total sugar used less the sugar used in baking muffins = sugar for nutbread

6%283%2F4%29c - 1%281%2F2%29c
= 6%283%2F4%29 - 1%282%2F4%29
= 5%281%2F4%29c sugar used for nutbread


it calls 1%283%2F4%29 c of sugar per loaf of nutbread, you have 5%281%2F4%29. how many loaves can you make out of that. Divide 5+1%2F4 by 1%283%2F4%29.


5%281%2F4%29 ÷ 1%283%2F4%29

= 21%2F+4+%F7+7%2F4

= 21%2F+4+%B7+4%2F7

= 21%2F7

= highlight+%283+loaves%29+
