By direct calculation, we will find that for each loaf we needed 15/56 pounds of flour.

how to find the total amount of flour.

First, we need to find the total amount of flour used, this is given by the amount of flour in each bag (which is a fraction, so we need to work with fractions) times the number of bags, so we have:

F = (3/8 lbs)*5 = (15/8) lbs

Now we know that from that, 7 loaves are made, so the amount in each loaf is the above quantity divided by 7, we will get:

(15/8 lbs)/7  = (15/56 lbs)

So in each loaf of bread, the amount of flour used is (15/56 lbs).
