Answer:
5 loaves
Step-by-step explanation:
13 1/3 divided by 2 2/3 is 5 so the answer is 5 loaves.
Rewrite the fractions as improper fractions then divide the total amount used by the amount per loaf:
13 1/3 = 40/3
2 2/3 = 8/3
40/3 / 8/3
When dividing by a fraction flip the fraction over and multiply
40/3 x 3/8 = (40 x3) /( 3 x 8) = 120/24 = 5
She made 5 loaves of bread.
