Kendra is making bread, but the recipe she’s using makes 4 loaves. She only wants to make one loaf. The changed recipe calls for 212 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.(1 point)
*btw ur on a role bot*
To find the amount of flour in the original recipe, we need to determine the amount of sugar in 1 loaf of bread from the original recipe.
The changed recipe calls for 212 cups of flour and sugar combined for 1 loaf. Since Kendra wants to make only 1 loaf, the original recipe also required 212 cups of flour and sugar combined for 4 loaves.
Therefore, for 1 loaf of bread in the original recipe, Kendra needs 212 cups of flour and sugar combined divided by 4 loaves = 53 cups of flour and sugar combined.
Since the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, we subtract the sugar amount from the combined flour and sugar to find the amount of flour in the original recipe.
53 cups of flour and sugar combined - 2 cups of sugar = 51 cups of flour.
Therefore, the original recipe requires 51 cups of flour.
