A baker used $0.6$ ton of whole wheat flour each month. $1/9$ of the whole wheat flour is used for muffins.if the baker adds $0.1$ ton of all purpose flour to the muffin mix,how much does the muffin mix weigh?
I know the answer is : $0.6 \times 1/9 + 0.1$ ,but I have a doubt ,could you explain more why the answer is $0.6 \times 1/9$ ? I got the impression it’s $0.6 - 1/9$
The baker uses a total of $0.6$ tons of whole wheat flour each month. Out of that total, $1/9$ of the total goes into muffins. That means that $1/9$ of the $0.6$ tons is used for muffins. That quantity is $0.6 \times 1/9$. We need to add to that the extra 0.1 tons that the baker adds on top of what they've already used to get a total of $0.6 \times 1/9 + 0.1$ tons of flour.
