Bakery Batch Plans: Compare the Records

Use rational-number order to make decisions for a school event.

Ingredient Balances

The bakery has scaled its recipes for a school event. Use the ingredient table for Questions 1–5. Compare the signed balances, not their distances from zero.

Each balance is the amount in stock minus the amount needed for the scaled recipes. A negative balance means a shortage. A positive balance means extra stock.
