Kendra is making bread but the recipe she is using makes four loaves she only wants to make one loaf the changed recipe calls for 2 and 1/2 cups of flour and sugar can bind if the original recipe calls for two cups of sugar find the amount of flour and cups in the original recipe
To find the amount of flour and sugar in the original recipe, we need to determine the ingredient ratio between the original recipe and the changed recipe.
The changed recipe requires 2 and 1/2 cups of flour for one loaf.
Therefore, the original recipe requires (2 and 1/2) / 1 = 2 and 1/2 cups of flour for four loaves.
Similarly, the changed recipe requires 2 cups of sugar for one loaf.
Therefore, the original recipe requires 2 / 1 = 2 cups of sugar for four loaves.
Hence, the original recipe calls for 2 and 1/2 cups of flour and 2 cups of sugar for four loaves.
