Question

Stan, Liam, and Louise are competing in a cooking competition. They all used different amounts of flour from a can containing 5 pounds of flour. Stan used 12% of the total flour in the can. Liam used 0.11 of the total flour in the can. Louise used 0.7 pound of the total flour in the can. Who used the greatest amount of flour from the can? Show your work and explain your answer in words.

Answer 1

Stan 12%
Liam 0.11 or 11%
Louise .07 or 7%

500 / 5 = 100
so 
12 / 5 = 2.4
11 / 5 = 2.2
7% / 5 = 1.4

these numbers tells the percent for 1 pound, so Stan used the most.

Sorry if wrong but pretty sure it's right.
