We are given the number of cups needed for 1 loaf
To find the number of cups needed for 12 loaves, we will multiply the number of cups need for 1 loaf (2/3rd cup of water) by 12.
That is going to be our answer. The multiplication is shown below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}\times12 \\ =\frac{2\times12}{3} \\ =\frac{24}{3} \\ =8\text{cups} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus,
8 cups of water are needed to make 12 loaves of bread.
