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 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.(1 point) *blank* cups
The amount of flour in the original recipe would be 2 1/2 - 2 = 0.5 cups.
ohh
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the amount of flour in the original recipe.
Since the changed recipe calls for a total of 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined, we need to subtract the amount of sugar used, which is 2 cups.
So, the amount of flour in the original recipe would be 2 1/2 cups - 2 cups = 0.5 cups.
To find the amount of flour in the original recipe, we need to determine the combined amount of flour and sugar in the original recipe.
Given that the changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined, we know that this amount is equal to the amount of sugar plus the amount of flour in the original recipe.
In the changed recipe, 2 1/2 cups is the combined amount of flour and sugar. If 2 cups of sugar are used, then we can subtract this amount from the combined amount to find the amount of flour.
2 1/2 cups - 2 cups = 1/2 cup
Therefore, the amount of flour in the original recipe is 1/2 cup.
