Answer:  The number of loaves of  banana bread can Javier make with 4 teaspoons of nutmeg is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Javier uses $\frac{1}{8}$ teaspoons of nutmeg for each loaf of banana bread he makes.

We are to find the number of loaves of banana bread can Javier make with 4 teaspoons of nutmeg.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

We have

Number of loaves of bread made by $\frac{1}{8}$ teaspoons of nutmeg = 1.

So, number of loaves of bread made by 1 teaspoon of nutmeg will be

$=\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{8}}=8.$

Therefore, the number of loaves of bread made by 4 teaspoon of nutmeg is given by

$8\times4=32.$

Thus, the number of loaves of  banana bread can Javier make with 4 teaspoons of nutmeg is 32.
