3 answers

In a bread recipe, the amount of flour specified should be a non-negative number, as you cannot use a negative amount of an ingredient. Therefore, among the given options:

  • Negative 3: Not valid (negative)
  • Square root of 3: Positive but not a whole number, so it could be used in a recipe but might be less practical.
  • 2 3/4: Valid (positive and can be used as a measurement in cups)
  • 4/7: Valid (positive and can be used as a measurement in cups)

The numbers that could be used to specify how many cups of flour should be used are 2 3/4 and 4/7.

whats the correct answer there is only 1

The correct answer, which is a practical and common measurement for flour in a bread recipe from the options provided, is 2 3/4. This is the only option that is both positive and a reasonable quantity for measuring flour in cups.
