To find the amount of flour needed for 1 cup of sugar, we can set up a proportion.
1/4 cup of sugar corresponds to 2 1/2 pounds of flour.
Therefore, 1 cup of sugar would correspond to:
(1/4 cup of sugar) * (4 cups of sugar / 1) = 1 pound of flour.
So, Eric should use 1 pound of flour for 1 cup of sugar.
Therefore, the answer is 4 pounds (option 4).
