Kendra is making bread, but the recipe she’s using makes 4 loaves. She only wants to make one loaf. The changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined. If the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, find the amount of flour (in cups) in the original recipe.(1

Answer 1

loaf is one-fourth of 2 1/2 cups, so 1 * (2 1/2) / 4 = 2 1/4 cups of flour in the original recipe. Answer: \boxed{2\frac{1}{4}}.

Answer 2

i dont understand

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Let's break it down step by step:

According to the changed recipe, 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar are required to make 4 loaves of bread.

Since Kendra only wants to make one loaf, she needs to adjust the amount of ingredients accordingly.

To determine the amount of flour needed for one loaf, we need to find what fraction of the original recipe 1 loaf is compared to 4 loaves.

1 loaf is one-fourth (1/4) of 4 loaves.

So, to find the amount of flour needed for 1 loaf, we divide the amount of flour needed for 4 loaves by 4:

2 1/2 cups / 4 = 5/2 cups / 4 = (5/2) * (1/4) = 5/8 cups.

Therefore, the original recipe calls for 5/8 cups of flour.
