Abread recipe calls for 4 eggs for every 1 and a half pounds of flour you use. if you had 12 pounds of flour, how many eggs would you need to make all the bread that you could?

Firstly, we need to find the number which, when multiplied with 1 1/2, = 12. To do this, we can do 12÷1 1/2 = 8.

Since there is 8 times the amount of flour used, there must be 8 times the amount of eggs used to keep the ingredients in proportion.

4 x 8 = 32

32 eggs would be used to make all the bread possible with 12 pounds of flour.
