Answer 1

Answer:

1/16ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

If 26 rolls fits into 1 5/8 ft² pan, then for us to get the number of square feet for each roll, we will fillw the steps;

26rolls = 1 5/8ft²

1 roll = xft²

26 rolls = 13/8 ft²

1roll = xft²

Cross multiply

26×x = 1×13/8

26x = 13/8

Ceoaa multiply

26x×8 = 13

208x = 13

x =13/208

x = 1/16 ft²

Hence the baker uses 1/16ft² for each roll
