Hey there! :) How are you? Explanation: So basically the cook has 3 1/2 cups of flour which is 7/2 as a improper fraction. The recipe calls for 3 2/3 cups of flour which is 11/3. So next we need to find a common denominator. 2 and 3 both have 6 in common, so7/2=21/6 and 11/3=22/6. The final step is 22/6-21/6= 1/6.

Answer: The cook DOES NOT have enough flour. He needs 1/6 cup of flour.

I hoped I helped you. Keep smiling! :D
