Math worksheet with decimal word problems about baking and sales at Caroline's Bakery.

Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.

---

Problem 1:

Each batch of donuts mix needs 0.6 cups of flour, and makes 12 donuts.
Caroline is making 5 batches of donuts.
We are asked: how many cups of sugar does she need?

Wait — the problem says “flour” in the first sentence, but asks for “sugar”. That might be a typo. But looking at the context, it probably meant to say “sugar” instead of “flour”, because question #2 talks about sugar sacks, and question #3 talks about cookies (not donuts). Also, question #1 says “how many cups of sugar does she need?” — so likely, the ingredient should be sugar, not flour.

Assuming that’s a typo and it should be sugar:

→ Each batch needs 0.6 cups of sugar.
→ She’s making 5 batches.

So:
0.6 × 5 = ?

0.6 × 5 = 3.0

✔ So she needs 3 cups of sugar.

*(If it really was flour, then we’d still calculate 0.6 × 5 = 3, but the question asks for sugar — which isn’t mentioned elsewhere for donuts. Since this is a math worksheet focused on decimals, and no other info is given about sugar per batch, we assume it’s a typo and proceed with 0.6 cups per batch of whatever ingredient is needed — and since the question asks for sugar, we’ll go with that.)*

Problem 2:

Caroline has two sacks of sugar:
- One sack: 43.19 ounces
- Other sack: 55.8 ounces

Total sugar = 43.19 + 55.8

Let’s add them carefully:

Align decimals:

```
43.19
+ 55.80 ← added a zero to make places match
--------
98.99
```

✔ Total sugar = 98.99 ounces

Problem 3:

Mini sugar cookies weigh 1.6 ounces each.
Customer wants 2.5 pounds of cookies.

First, convert pounds to ounces, because cookie weight is in ounces.

We know:
1 pound = 16 ounces

So:
2.5 pounds = 2.5 × 16 = ?

2 × 16 = 32
0.5 × 16 = 8
Total = 32 + 8 = 40 ounces

Now, each cookie is 1.6 ounces.

Number of cookies = total ounces ÷ ounces per cookie
= 40 ÷ 1.6

To divide by decimal, multiply numerator and denominator by 10:

40 ÷ 1.6 = 400 ÷ 16

Now divide:

16 × 25 = 400 → so 400 ÷ 16 = 25

✔ Customer gets 25 cookies

Problem 4:

Strawberry pie prices:
- Full pie: $17.50
- Half-pie: $9.25

She sells:
- 3 full pies
- 5 half-pies

Money from full pies: 3 × 17.50

3 × 17 = 51
3 × 0.50 = 1.50
Total = 51 + 1.50 = $52.50

Money from half-pies: 5 × 9.25

5 × 9 = 45
5 × 0.25 = 1.25
Total = 45 + 1.25 = $46.25

Total money = 52.50 + 46.25

Add:

52.50
+46.25
= 98.75

✔ Total money = $98.75

Problem 5:

Fudge brick weighs 33.6 oz each.

A) How much would 3.5 bricks weigh?

Multiply: 33.6 × 3.5

Break it down:

33.6 × 3 = 100.8
33.6 × 0.5 = 16.8
Total = 100.8 + 16.8 = 117.6 oz

✔ A) 117.6 ounces

B) If she sells all 3.5 bricks at $7.90 per brick, how much money?

Money = number of bricks × price per brick
= 3.5 × 7.90

Calculate:

3 × 7.90 = 23.70
0.5 × 7.90 = 3.95
Total = 23.70 + 3.95 = 27.65

✔ B) $27.65

C) She has 436.8 ounces of fudge. Each brick is 33.6 oz. How many bricks can she sell?

Divide total ounces by ounces per brick:

436.8 ÷ 33.6

Again, eliminate decimal by multiplying numerator and denominator by 10:

4368 ÷ 336

Now divide:

Let’s see how many times 336 goes into 4368.

Try 10 × 336 = 3360
Subtract: 4368 - 3360 = 1008

Now, 3 × 336 = 1008

So total = 10 + 3 = 13

Check: 336 × 13 = ?

336 × 10 = 3360
336 × 3 = 1008
Total = 3360 + 1008 = 4368 ✔

So 436.8 ÷ 33.6 = 13

✔ C) 13 bricks

Final Answer:

1) 3 cups
2) 98.99 ounces
3) 25 cookies
4) $98.75
5A) 117.6 ounces
5B) $27.65
5C) 13 bricks
