Answer 1

To specify how many cups of flour should be used in a bread recipe, the number must be a non-negative real number. Let's analyze the options provided:

1. 47 - This is a positive integer and can be used to specify the amount of flour.
2. Start Fraction 4 over 7 End Fraction (which is \( \frac{4}{7} \)) - This is a positive fraction and can also be used to specify the amount of flour.
3. −3 (negative 3) - This is a negative number and cannot be used to specify the amount of flour.
4. square root of 3 - This is a positive number (approximately 1.732) and can be used to specify the amount of flour.
5. 234 - This is a positive integer and can also be used to specify the amount of flour.

Based on this analysis, the valid numbers that could specify the amount of flour are:

• 47
• \( \frac{4}{7} \)
• square root of 3
• 234

So, the appropriate choices are 47, \( \frac{4}{7} \), square root of 3, and 234.
