Kendra is making bread but the recipe she using makes 4 loaves. She only wants to make one loaf. The changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined. If the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar find the amount of flour (in cups) in the original recipe
If Kendra wants to make one loaf instead of four loaves, she needs to divide the ingredients by 4.
The changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined, so one loaf requires 2 1/2 / 4 = <<2.5/4=0.625>>0.625 cups of flour and sugar combined.
The original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, so the amount of flour in the original recipe is 0.625 - 2 = -1.375 cups.
Since it doesn't make sense for the original recipe to have negative flour, it means there is an error in the question.
