Question

2. A recipe calls for 3 and 1/2 cups of flour and 3/4 cups of sugar, If you want

to make the recipe with 6 cups of flour, how much sugar will you need? *

Answer 1

1 and 2/7 cups of sugar.

Explanation:

The ratio of the amount of flour in the original recipe to the amount in your recipe is 1:12/7. (6 / 7/2 = 6 * 2/7 = 12/7)

Therefore, the amount of sugar you need can be found by 3/4 * 12/7 = 36/28 = 9/7 cups of sugar, which equates to 1 and 2/7 cups.

Hope this helped!
