We can solve this problem using a Simple Three Rule. We will reach the conclusion that it will be necessary to use 64 kg of flour.

[tex]------------------[/tex]

Let's do an analysis of the quantities:

  • The more bread I make, the amount of flour needed also increases.
  • The fewer the number of loaves, the less flour will be used to make them.

[tex]------------------[/tex]

Thus, we conclude that the quantities are directly proportional.

Now cross multiplication.

[tex] \frac{4}{x} = \frac{15}{240} [/tex]

[tex]15x = 960[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{960}{15} = 64[/tex]

64 kg of wheat flour will be needed to make 240 loaves.
