Verified Answer :

Answer:

18 loaf of breads are made form 12 cups of flour .  

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A recipe for a loaf of bread calls for  \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a cup of flour.

\(If\ Milo\ used\ 12\ cups\ of flour\)

Thus

\(1\ loaf = \frac{2}{3}\ cups\ of\ flour\)

Thus

\(1\ cup\ of\ flour = \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} }\ loaf\)

Now calculate for 12 cups of flours .

\(12\ cup\ of\ flour = \frac{12}{\frac{2}{3}}\ loaf\)

 \(12\ cup\ of\ flour = \frac{3\times 12}{2}\ loaf\)            

                                    = 18 loaf of bread .

Therefore 18 loaf of breads are made form 12 cups of flour .
