Kendra 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 II the onginal recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, find the amount of four (in cups) in the onginal recipe (1 point) cups

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion.

Let "x" represent the amount of flour in cups in the original recipe.

According to the proportion, we have:

x/2 = 2.5/4

Cross-multiplying, we get:

4x = 2.5*2
4x = 5

Dividing both sides by 4, we find:

x = 5/4
x = 1.25

Therefore, the original recipe calls for 1.25 cups of flour.
