Question

1. darien uses $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of flour for each loaf of bread he bakes. enter an equation that represents the total number of cups of flour darien uses, c, to bake n loaves of bread.

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables and relationship

Total flour = flour per loaf × number of loaves

Step2: Substitute given values

Flour per loaf is $1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$, so:
$c = \frac{3}{2}n$
Or written with the mixed number: $c = 1\frac{1}{2}n$

Answer:

$c = \frac{3}{2}n$ (or $c = 1\frac{1}{2}n$)
