Question

Oscars making a loaf of bread and cooking class the teacher gives him a recipe that calls for 3/4 teaspoons of yeast for everyone half cup of flour if he plans to use one teaspoon of yeast how much flour does he need in order to keep the bread taste in the same a.3/8 cup b. two cups c. 2/3 cup D.1 cup

Answer 1

To solve this, we need to find the amount of flour that corresponds to using 1 teaspoon of yeast, according to the given recipe ratio.

The original recipe states that for every 3/4 teaspoon of yeast, you need 1/2 cup of flour.

First, we can set up a proportion based on the yeast:

\[ \frac{3/4 \text{ teaspoon yeast}}{1/2 \text{ cup flour}} = \frac{1 \text{ teaspoon yeast}}{x \text{ cup flour}} \]

Now we cross-multiply to solve for \(x\):

\[ (3/4) \times x = (1) \times (1/2) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ (3/4)x = 1/2 \]

Now, we can solve for \(x\) by multiplying both sides by \(4/3\):

\[ x = (1/2) \times (4/3) = 4/6 = 2/3 \text{ cup} \]

So, if Oscar plans to use 1 teaspoon of yeast, he needs 2/3 cup of flour to maintain the same taste in the bread.

Therefore, the correct answer is: C. 2/3 cup.
