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)

HOW MANY CUPS.

1 answer

The original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar. Since the changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined, and we know that the sugar is 2 cups, the amount of flour in the changed recipe is 2 1/2 cups - 2 cups = 0.5 cups of flour.
Therefore, there is 0.5 cups of flour in the original recipe.
