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? Let's be accurate as possible.
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: 26.
