Oscar is making a loaf of bread in cooking class. The teacher gives him a recipe that calls for 34 tsp of yeast for every 12 cup of flour. If he plans to use 1 tsp of yeast, how much flour does he need in order to keep the bread tasting the same?

Answer 1

Since the recipe calls for 34 tsp of yeast for every 12 cups of flour, Oscar needs to use the same ratio of yeast to flour.

To find out how much flour he needs when using 1 tsp of yeast, we can set up a proportion:

34 tsp of yeast / 12 cups of flour = 1 tsp of yeast / x cups of flour

Cross-multiplying, we get:

34 tsp of yeast * x cups of flour = 12 cups of flour * 1 tsp of yeast

34x = 12

Dividing both sides by 34, we get:

x = 12 / 34

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

x = 0.35294117647 cups of flour

Therefore, Oscar needs 0.35294117647 cups of flour to keep the bread tasting the same.
