To find the difference between the amount of flour and sugar used to make a batch of cookies, we first need to convert the fractions to have a common denominator.
2 1/2 cups of flour can be written as 5/2 cups of flour.
1 2/3 cups of sugar can be written as 5/3 cups of sugar.
Now we can find the difference:
5/2 - 5/3 = 15/6 - 10/6 = 5/6
Therefore, 5/6 cups more flour is used to make a batch of cookies compared to sugar.
One batch of a dozen cookies requires 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 2/3 cups of sugar.
How much more flour, than sugar, is used to make a batch of cookies?
