The ratio given in the recipe is 2 1/2 pounds of flour for every 1/4 cup of sugar.
To find out how many pounds of flour Eric should use for 1 cup of sugar, we first need to convert 1 cup of sugar into 1/4 cup units.
1 cup = 4 (1/4 cups)
Now, we can use the ratio to find the amount of flour needed:
2 1/2 pounds x 4 (1/4 cups) = 2 1/2 x 4 = 10 pounds
Therefore, Eric should use 10 pounds of flour for 1 cup of sugar.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the correct answer.
Given:
2 1/2 pounds of flour for every 1/4 cup of sugar
To find out how many pounds of flour Eric should use for 1 cup of sugar, we need to first convert 1 cup into 1/4 cup units:
1 cup = 4 (1/4 cups)
Now we can use the ratio to find the amount of flour needed:
2 1/2 pounds x 4 (1/4 cups) = 2.5 x 4 = 10 pounds
Therefore, Eric should use 10 pounds of flour for 1 cup of sugar.
So, the correct answer is 10 pounds.
