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?(1 point)

To keep the bread tasting the same, Oscar needs to maintain the ratio of 34 tsp of yeast for every 12 cup of flour.
Therefore, for 1 tsp of yeast, he needs to use the same ratio.
To find out how much flour he needs, we can set up a proportion:
34 tsp / 12 cup = 1 tsp / x cup
Cross-multiplying, we get:
34 tsp * x cup = 12 cup * 1 tsp
34x = 12
x = 12/34
Simplifying, we get:
x = 6/17 cup
Therefore, Oscar needs to use approximately 6/17 cup of flour to keep the bread tasting the same.
To find out how much flour Oscar needs, we will set up a proportion using the given recipe.
The recipe calls for 34 tsp of yeast for every 12 cups of flour. We are given that Oscar plans to use 1 tsp of yeast.
Let's set up the proportion:
34 tsp yeast / 12 cups flour = 1 tsp yeast / x cups flour
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
34 tsp yeast * x cups flour = 12 cups flour * 1 tsp yeast
Simplifying, we get:
34x = 12
To isolate x, divide both sides by 34:
x = 12 / 34
Reducing the fraction, we get:
x = 6 / 17
Therefore, Oscar would need 6/17 cups of flour to keep the bread tasting the same.
To find out how much flour Oscar needs, we can set up a proportion based on the given recipe.
The ratio of yeast to flour is 34 tsp : 12 cup.
Since Oscar plans to use 1 tsp of yeast, we can set up the proportion:
34 tsp / 12 cup = 1 tsp / x cup
To solve for x, cross-multiply:
34 tsp * x cup = 12 cup * 1 tsp
34x = 12
Finally, divide both sides by 34 to solve for x:
x = 12 / 34
This simplifies to x ≈ 2/3 cup.
Therefore, Oscar needs 2/3 cup of flour in order to keep the bread tasting the same.
