Westside Bakery uses 440 pounds of flour to make 1,000 loaves of bread. Each contains the same amount of flour. How many pounds of flour are in each loaf of bread.

We need to set up a proportion to solve this.

440 / 1000 = x/1

Now we need to cross multiply to solve for x (the amount of pounds of flour).

440/1000 = x/1

440*1 = 1000x

440 = 1000x

Now, we do the inverse operation and divide 1000 by both sides.

440/1000 = 1000x/1000

x = 440/1000

x = 0.44 pounds of flour in each loaf of bread.

Final answer: 0.44 pounds of flour in each loaf of bread.
