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 determine the amount of flour Oscar needs, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio of yeast to flour.
Let "x" represent the amount of flour Oscar needs in cups.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
34 tsp / 12 cups = 1 tsp / x cups
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
34 tsp * x cups = 12 cups * 1 tsp
34x = 12
x = 12 / 34
Simplifying the fraction, x ≈ 0.3529 cups.
Therefore, Oscar needs approximately 0.3529 cups of flour to keep the bread tasting the same.
In order to determine how much flour Oscar needs, we can use the provided ratio: 34 tsp of yeast for every 12 cups of flour.
To find the amount of flour needed when using 1 tsp of yeast, we need to set up a proportion using the given ratio:
34 tsp yeast / 12 cups flour = 1 tsp yeast / X cups flour
To solve for X, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
34 tsp * X cups = 12 cups * 1 tsp
34X = 12
Next, divide both sides by 34 to isolate X:
X = 12 / 34
15/43 cups of flour
Therefore, Oscar needs approximately 15/43 cups of flour to keep the bread tasting the same.
