Problem 23

Step1: Find flour per dozen

$\frac{4.5}{2} = 2.25$ cups/dozen

Step2: Calculate flour for 5 dozen

$2.25 \times 5 = 11.25$

Step1: Set up the proportion

$\frac{16}{10} = \frac{40}{x}$

Step2: Cross-multiply to solve for x

$16x = 10 \times 40$
$16x = 400$

Step3: Isolate x

$x = \frac{400}{16} = 25$

Answer:
