Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

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

Therefore, there is 0.5 cups of flour in the original recipe.
