recipe? (1 point)
2
3
4
4
7
−3
square root of 3

Answer 1

In a bread recipe, the number of cups of flour used should be a non-negative integer. Let's evaluate the options:

- **2**: valid (non-negative integer)
- **3**: valid (non-negative integer)
- **4**: valid (non-negative integer)
- **4**: valid (non-negative integer, repeated)
- **7**: valid (non-negative integer)
- **−3**: invalid (negative number)
- **square root of 3**: invalid (not an integer)

So, the valid numbers that could be used to specify how many cups of flour should be used in a bread recipe are **2, 3, 4 (both instances), and 7**.
