recorded the amount in the table to the right. For (a)-(c)
write an expression that records the calculation
described. Then, solve to find the missing data in the
table.

a. Fantine bought 2 pounds in August.

b. She bought 2 pounds in April.

The flour bought in August = × The flour bought in January. From the table, we have the flour bought in January was 3 pounds.

The flour bought in August = × 3 = = 2 pounds. (9 divided by 2 gets a quotient of 2 and remainder 1)

Step 2; She bought as much in April as she did in both October and July.

× the flour bought in August = The flour bought in October and July.

The flour bought in October and July = + 1 = + = = 2 pounds.

× the flour bought in August = 2 pounds.

The flour bought in August = 2 × = = 2 pounds. (16 divided by 7 gets a quotient of 2 and remainder 2)
