If your recipe calls for 3 eggs and 7.0 cups of flour to make 24.0 bagels, how many bagels will you be able to make if, in your bakery, all you have available are 52 eggs and 99.3 cups of flour?

Answer :

Final answer:

To find out how many bagels you can make, divide the total amount of eggs and flour available by the amount required for one bagel.

Explanation:

To find out how many bagels you can make, we need to determine the amount of eggs and flour required to make one bagel.

From the given recipe, we know that for 24 bagels, you need 3 eggs and 7.0 cups of flour. So, for 1 bagel, we need 3/24 eggs and 7.0/24 cups of flour.

To find out how many bagels you can make with the available eggs and flour, we divide the total amount of eggs and flour available by the amount required for one bagel.

So, with 52 eggs and 99.3 cups of flour, you can make 52/(3/24) = 416 bagels and 99.3/(7.0/24) = 342.514 bagels. Since we can't have a fraction of a bagel, we can make a maximum of 342 bagels with the ingredients available.
