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
Let's assume the amount of flour in the original recipe is F cups.
According to the changed recipe, the combined amount of flour and sugar is 2 1/2 cups.
Since the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, the amount of flour in the changed recipe would be 2 1/2 - 2 = 1/2 cup.
So, the amount of flour in the original recipe is also 1/2 cup, which means F = 1/2.
Therefore, the amount of flour in the original recipe is 1/2 cup.
