For a given recipe, 3 cups of flour are mixed with 6 cups of sugar. How many cups of flour should be used if 30 cups of sugar are used?

1 answer

15 cups of flour.

This is determined by the ratio of flour to sugar in the original recipe, which is 1:2. Therefore, if you increase the amount of sugar to 30 cups, you should also increase the amount of flour by the same ratio. So, 30/2 = 15 cups of flour.
