Answer:

310 / 1000 = 0.31 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing by a number that is 1 less 0 than how many digits the number has, we can move the decimal point the number of times zero is repeated at the end of the number.

1000 has 3 zeroes, so we move the decimal point 3 moves to the left.

So, we do this:

After 0 moves: 310

After 1 move: 31.0

After 2 moves: 3.10

After 3 moves = 0.310

0.310 is the same as 0.31

Therefore, 0.31 pounds of flour are in each loaf.
