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

Question

What is the total

Answer 1

The original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar. Since the total amount of flour and sugar combined is 2 1/2 cups, the amount of flour in the original recipe is 2 1/2 cups - 2 cups = 0.5 cups of flour.
