Question

dinner for 4 people. The recipe calls for 1 cups of flour. How many cups of
flour should Omar use to make the recipe for 2 people?

Answer 1

Omar should use 1/2 cup of flour to make the recipe for 2 people. Since the recipe is for 4 people and calls for 1 cup of flour, by halving the recipe for 2 people, he should use half the amount of flour as well.
