endra is making bread, but the recipe she’s using makes 4 loaves. She only wants to make one loaf. The changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined. If the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, find the amount of flour (in cups) in the original recipe.(1 point)

Since the changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined, and we know the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, we can subtract the amount of sugar from the total to find the amount of flour in the changed recipe.

2 1/2 - 2 = 1/2

Therefore, the amount of flour in the original recipe is 1/2 cup.

My apologies for the mistake.

To find the amount of flour in the original recipe, we need to determine the total combined amount of flour and sugar in the changed recipe and then subtract the amount of sugar.

Since the changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined, and we know the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, we can subtract 2 cups from 2 1/2 cups to find the amount of flour in the changed recipe.

2 1/2 - 2 = 1/2

Therefore, the amount of flour in the changed recipe is 1/2 cup.

However, since the changed recipe still makes 4 loaves, we need to further divide the amount of flour by 4 to determine the amount of flour in one loaf.

1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8

Therefore, the amount of flour in one loaf of the original recipe is 1/8 cup.
