A commercial bakery prepares a special bread dough using flour, water, and sourdough starter in a ratio of by weight. If a single batch uses pounds of water, what is the total weight of the dough for this batch, in pounds?
Cevap: 140 / 140 pounds / 140 lbs / 140 lb
Cevap
140
Since the water represents parts of the ratio and weighs pounds, each part weighs exactly pounds (). The entire batch of dough is composed of total parts ( for flour + for water + for starter). Multiplying the total parts by the pounds per part results in a total batch weight of pounds.
