Question

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. If the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, find the amount of flour (in cups) in the original recipe.(1 point)
its not 1/2, 1/8, or 2

Answer 1

Since the changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined, and the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, the difference between the two is the amount of flour in the original recipe.

Hence, the amount of flour in the original recipe is 2 1/2 cups - 2 cups = 1/2 cup.

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