Taylor bought 24 lb of flour. She used 1/3 of it to bake fruit pies and 1/4 of the remainder to bake some bread. How many pounds of flour were left?

Respuesta :

Answer: 12 lbs


Step-by-step explanation:

24x1/3= 8lbs ( used for fruit pies)

24-8= 16 lbs ( remainder)

16x 1/4= 4lbs ( for bread)

16-4 = 12 lbs remains

Total pounds of flour: 24


Taylor used 1/3 of the 24 pounds.


So, (1/3) of 24 = 8 pounds.


24 - 8 = 16 pounds.


Taylor also used (1/4) of the remainder of the pounds of flour.


So, (1/4) of 16 = 4 pounds.


In total, Taylor used 12 pounds of the total 24 he bought


How many pounds of flour are left?


24 pounds - 12 pounds = 12 pounds


Answer: 12 pounds
