Question: On Saturdays and Sundays, Suzanne makes french toast for the family. She and her husband each have 1 whole slice and her daughters split 1 slice. She uses a thick sliced bread that comes 12 slices per loaf. Over 52 weeks, how many loaves of bread will she need to make french toast?
Answer: She and her husband have 1 slice each and her children split 1 slice so that's 1 + 1 + .5 + .5 = 3 slices. She makes 3 pieces of french toast on Saturday and Sunday for a total of 3 * 2 = 6 slices per weekend. If she uses 6 slices per weekend then over 52 weeks she will have used 6 * 52 = 312 slices. She gets 12 slices per loaf and she needs 312 slices so she needs 312 / 12 = 26 loaves. The answer is 26.
