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  212  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.(

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Since the recipe calls for 212 cups of flour and sugar combined and Kendra only wants to make one loaf, she needs to divide the amount by 4 to find the amount of flour and sugar needed for one loaf. 212/4 = <<212/4=53>>53 cups of flour and sugar combined are needed for one loaf.
Since the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, the remaining amount is made up of flour. Therefore, there are 53 - 2 = <<53-2=51>>51 cups of flour in the original recipe. Answer: \boxed{51}.
