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)
Let's assume the amount of flour in the original recipe is "x" cups.
The amount of sugar in the original recipe is 2 cups.
The combined amount of flour and sugar in the original recipe is x + 2 cups.
According to the problem, the changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour and sugar combined.
Since the changed recipe only makes one loaf, the changed recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups.
Therefore, we have the equation x + 2 = 2 1/2.
By subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation, we get x = 2 1/2 - 2 = 1/2.
Therefore, the amount of flour in the original recipe is 1/2 cup. Answer: \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}.
