Answer 1

To specify how many cups of flour should be used in a bread recipe, the number must be a non-negative number, as a negative amount or a non-whole number (like a fraction or a square root that is not a complete value) wouldn't make sense in this context of measuring ingredients.

Among the options you provided:

- **−3** (negative) is not valid.
- **square root of 3** (approximately 1.73) could be used, but it is not a simple whole number measure.
- **47** is valid (non-negative).
- **Start Fraction 4 over 7 End Fraction** (approximately 0.57) could be used, but it's a fraction.
- **234** is valid (non-negative).

The best answers for specifying how many cups of flour would be **47** and **234**.
