The changed recipe requires 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined. If the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, then the remaining 1/2 cup is for flour. Therefore, the original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of flour.
HMM.... 1/2 and 0.5 are wrong.
Apologies for the previous incorrect response.
If the changed recipe requires 2 1/2 (or 2.5) cups of flour and sugar combined, and the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, then the remaining 0.5 cups must be the amount of flour in the original recipe.

i just said 0.5 is wrong
Apologies once again for the confusion.
To find the amount of flour in the original recipe, we need to subtract the amount of sugar from the total combined measurement.
Since the changed recipe requires 2 1/2 (or 2.5) cups of flour and sugar combined, and the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, the difference between these two measurements will give us the amount of flour in the original recipe.
2 1/2 cups - 2 cups = 1/2 cup
Therefore, the original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of flour.

the answer is 8 cups.
