a pancake reciipe calls for .75 cups of flour. Linda is making 5 batches. she already has 2.5 cups of flour how many more cups does she need?

(5 * 0.75) - 2.5 = ?

I donjt know

To find out how many more cups of flour Linda needs, we can use a simple calculation:

First, we need to calculate the total amount of flour needed for 5 batches of pancakes. Since each batch requires 0.75 cups of flour, we can multiply 0.75 by 5:

0.75 cups/batch * 5 batches = 3.75 cups

This means that Linda needs a total of 3.75 cups of flour to make 5 batches of pancakes.

Next, we need to determine how many more cups of flour Linda needs, considering that she already has 2.5 cups. We can subtract the amount she already has from the total amount needed:

3.75 cups - 2.5 cups = 1.25 cups

Therefore, Linda needs an additional 1.25 cups of flour to complete the 5 batches of pancakes.
