Question

Nina has 2 cups of flour. However, this is only 1/4 of the amount of flour she needs for a bread recipe. How many cups of flour does the recipe call for?

Answer 1

She needs 8 cups of flour for her recipe.

Answer 2

Nina has 2 cups of flour.

However, 2 cups of flour is only 1/4 of the amount of flour she needs for a bread recipe.

Therefore, quantity of flour which Nina needs for a bread recipe is four times the present quantity

The cups of flour which Nina needs for a bread recipe = 2 / (1/4)

= 2 *4 cups

= 8 cups

Hope this helps..!!

Thank you :)
