Answer 1

To specify how many cups of flour should be used in a bread recipe, the number must be a non-negative quantity.

Let's analyze the options:

1. 234 - This is a positive whole number. This is a valid option.
2. \(2 \frac{3}{4}\) - This is a mixed number, which can be expressed as a positive fraction (2.75). This is a valid option.
3. \(\sqrt{3}\) - This is a positive number (approximately 1.732). This is a valid option.
4. −3 - This is a negative number. This is NOT a valid option.
5. 47 - This is a positive whole number. This is a valid option.

The numbers that could specify how many cups of flour should be used in a bread recipe are:

• 234
• \(2 \frac{3}{4}\)
• \(\sqrt{3}\)
• 47

The only invalid number is −3.
