A baker uses 30 grams of sea salt for each batch of bread. Sea salt comes in an 18-kilogram package or 800 gram package. Which size package should the baker buy so that their will be no sea salt left over after making batches

Respuesta :

Since 18 kilograms are 18000 grams, you have

[tex] \dfrac{18000}{30} = 600 [/tex]

and

[tex] \dfrac{800}{30} = 26.\overline{6}[/tex]

So, with 18 kilograms of salt the baker can make exactly 600 batches with no leftovers, while with 800 grams of salt the baker can make 26 batches, with some leftovers.

In fact, 26 batches require

[tex] 26 \times 30 = 780 [/tex]

grams of salt, and the remaining

[tex] 800-780=20 [/tex]

grams of salt are not enought to prepare the next batch

The size package that the baker should buy so that there will be no sea salt leftover after making batches will be 18-kilogram package.

To solve the question, we've to divide the 18-kilogram package or 800 gram package by 30 grams of sea salt. This will be:

= 18kg / 30

= 18000/30

= 600

Also, we have to divide 800 by 30. This will be: = 800/30 = 26.6

Therefore, the 18-kilogram package should be chosen.
