Complete Question

You're planning on making 6 meatloafs for a party. You go to the store to buy breadcrumbs, and see they are sold by the canister. How many canisters do you need to buy?

First, determine what information you need to answer this question.

. How much breadcrumbs does the recipe call for?

It calls for 1 3/4 cups of breadcrumbs. How many meatloafs does the recipe make? It makes 1 meatloaf.

How many servings does that recipe make? It says it serves 7.

How big is the canister? It is cylindrical, 3.5 inches across and 7 inches tall.

What is the net weight of the contents of 1 canister? 15 ounces.

How much does a canister cost? $2.29

How much does a cup of breadcrumbs weigh? I'm not sure, but maybe something from the nutritional label will help.

2.24 canisters

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

From the above question, we can see that:

1 meatloaf = 1 3/4 cups of bread crumbs

1 3/4 cups = 1.75 cups of bread crumbs

Hence 1 meat loaf = 1.75 cups of bread crumbs

6 meat loaf =

Cross Multiply

6 meat loaf × 1.75 cups of bread/1 meat loaf

= 10.5 cups of bread crumbs

Step 2

We have to find out how many cups of bread crumbs are found in one canister

From the attached image

We can see that we have

14 servings in one canister

1 serving = 1/3 cups of bread crumbs

14 servings =

Cross Multiply

14 × 1/3 cups of bread crumbs

= 4.6666666667 cups of bread crumbs

= 4.67 cups of bread crumbs

Hence, we have 4.67 cups of bread crumbs in one canister

Step 3

We can solve for how many canisters we need

Since

4.67 cups of bread crumbs = 1 canister

10.5 cups of bread crumbs = y canister

4.67 cups × y canister = 10.5 cups × 1 canister

y canister = 10.5 cups × 1 canister/4.67 cups

= 2.2483940043 canisters

Therefore, approximately she can buy 2.24 canisters

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
