Question

1/10

5/8
4
10

Answer 1

10 pounds

To find out how many pounds of flour Eric should use for 1 cup of sugar, we first need to find how many 1/4 cups are in 1 cup.

1 cup = 4 (1/4 cups)

Now, since the recipe calls for 2 1/2 pounds of flour for every 1/4 cup of sugar, we multiply 2.5 (pounds) by 4 (1/4 cups):

2.5 x 4 = 10

Therefore, Eric should use 10 pounds of flour for 1 cup of sugar.
