lila decided to make more baked goods for bake sale.She uses 1/8 lb less to make bread than to make cookies. She used 1/4 lb more flour to make cookies than to make brownies. If she used 1/2lb of flour to make the bread , how much flour did she use to make the brownies ?

Ok so we are trying to find out how much flour she used to make brownies so we already know that she used 1/2 flour to make bread and She uses 1/8 flour less flour to make bread than to make cookies so if we add 1/2 and 1/8 we will get the amount of flour she used to make the cookies so 1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8 so now that we have the amount of flour she used to make the cookies we know that that is 1/4 more flour than brownies so if we subtract 5/8 by 1/4 we will get are answer to how much flour she uses to make brownies so 5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8 and that's your answer do you understand?

Answer:

\((\frac{3}{8})\) lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Lila uses \((\frac{1}{2})\) lb of flour to make the bread.

Since she uses \((\frac{1}{8})\) lb less to make bread than cookies then flour used to make the cookies = \(\frac{1}{2}\) - \(\frac{1}{8}\)

= \(\frac{4+1}{8}\)

= \((\frac{5}{8})\) lb

She used \((\frac{1}{4})\)lb more flour to make cookies than brownies then flour used to make brownies = \(\frac{5}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\)

= \(\frac{5-2}{8}\) = \((\frac{3}{8})\) lb

Therefore, flour used to make brownies in \((\frac{3}{8})\) lb.
