Six bakers use a total of 12x - 3.6 pounds of flour each hour. if each baker uses the same amount of flour, find an expression for the number of pounds each baker uses in an hour. then write an expression equivalent to 12x - 3.6 to represent the total hour used in an hour.

Since Six bakers use a total of 12x - 3.6 pounds of flour each hour. 

 

The expression for the number of pounds each baker uses in an hour is equal to

(12x – 3.6) 1/6

2x – 0.6 pound of flour per hour each baker use.

Answer: it would be 2x - 0.6 for each baker, and 2(6x - 1.8) could be used to represent the total flour used in an hour.

Step-by-step explanation: the question called for two expressions. the first one asked for an expression to represent how much flour EACH baker uses an hour so you divide the amount by the number of bakers. it would look like

12x - 3.6

________

6 that represents the equation divided by 6. and you would get 2x - 0.6

the second equation asks for another way to write it. I just factored the number out, so it looked like 2(6x - 1.8) you could factor it or break that expression apart.
