The number of loaves can be determined with dividing the butter by the number of cups needed for a loaf.
loaves = 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4

Change into improper fraction
loaves = 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4
loaves = 5/2 ÷ 3/4

Change into multiplication
loaves = 5/2 ÷ 3/4
loaves = 5/2 × 4/3
loaves = 20/6
loaves = 10/3
loaves = 3.3
Because the number of loaves can't be a fraction, round it to the smaller whole number

Roger can make 3 loaves of bread
