more than 35 cups in a 10 pound bag


unit rate is....

1 pound equals 3.52 cups

so by that math...

10 pounds equals 35.20 cups

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 [tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups  of flour weights  [tex]1\frac{9}{16}[/tex] lbs

[tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex] cups of flour weights [tex]\frac{25}{16}[/tex] lbs

then:

1 pound ⇒ [tex]\frac{11}{2} \times \frac{16}{25}  =\frac{11 \times 16}{50} = 3.52[/tex] cups

Unit rate per pound= 3.52 cups

Then,

in 10 pounds = [tex]10 \times 3.52 = 35.20[/tex] cups.

therefore, there are more than 35 cups of flour in a 10 pound bag of flour
