Hi, I’m Aram, and we are learning about solving real-life cooking problems. I made these problems so you can try out the problems that we are doing.

Problems

Problem 1:

Bob needs to make 10 loaves of zucchini bread. How much sugar does Bob need (not powdered sugar)?

Problem 2:

Rick forgot to buy crushed pineapple.  The cans of crushed pineapple are 17 oz. cans. If Rick is making 2 loaves (1 batch), how much crushed pineapple is left over?

Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookie Math

Hello. My name is Adam and I’m studying word problems. Today I’m going to show you how math can help you in real life.  This is also why I made these problems. Now here are some examples.

PROBLEM # 1       Q. Fred wants to bake Peanut Butter-Pretzel Cookies for his party. He wants to have to start baking as late as possible. One batch makes 48 cookies and takes 30 minutes to cook. If the party is at 2:30 and 240 people are coming to his party and each person will want one cookie, what time does he have to start cooking?

PROBLEM # 2     Q. Grace loves Peanut Butter-Pretzel Cookies. If she sees her sister add 14 cups of crushed mini pretzels, and there are 2 cups of crushed mini pretzels in one batch, how many batches is she making?

Comment with your answer. We'll be back with the answers later.
