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)
_ cups of flour
the answer is 8 cups.
HMM.... 1/2 and 0.5 are wrong.
i just said 0.5 is wrong
To find the amount of flour in the original recipe, we need to determine the ratio of flour to sugar in the changed recipe.
In the changed recipe, the combined amount of flour and sugar is 2 1/2 cups.
Since the recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, we can subtract that from the combined amount to find the amount of flour.
2 1/2 cups - 2 cups = 1/2 cup
Therefore, the original recipe would have had 1/2 cup of flour.
The changed recipe requires 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined. If the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, then the remaining 1/2 cup is for flour. Therefore, the original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of flour.
Apologies for the previous incorrect response.
If the changed recipe requires 2 1/2 (or 2.5) cups of flour and sugar combined, and the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, then the remaining 0.5 cups must be the amount of flour in the original recipe.
Apologies once again for the confusion.
To find the amount of flour in the original recipe, we need to subtract the amount of sugar from the total combined measurement.
Since the changed recipe requires 2 1/2 (or 2.5) cups of flour and sugar combined, and the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, the difference between these two measurements will give us the amount of flour in the original recipe.
2 1/2 cups - 2 cups = 1/2 cup
Therefore, the original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of flour.
