Answer:
There are more than 35 cups of flour in a 10 pound bag of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
Unit rate defined as when rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 4 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.
As per the given statement:
Every \(5\frac{1}{2}\) cups of flour weights \(1\frac{9}{16}\) lbs
\(\frac{11}{2}\) cups of flour weights \(\frac{25}{16}\) lbs
then:
1 pound ⇒ \(\frac{11}{2} \times \frac{16}{25} =\frac{11 \times 16}{50} = 3.52\) cups
Unit rate per pound= 3.52 cups
Then,
in 10 pounds = \(10 \times 3.52 = 35.20\) cups.
therefore, there are more than 35 cups of flour in a 10 pound bag of flour
