Multiply 10(3/8)
You get 3.75 or 3&3/4 cups of sugar if 10 cups of flour are used.

Hello there!
If the baker uses 3/8 cup of sugar for every cup of flour and if he uses 10 cups of flours, then you have to multiply 10/1 with 3/8
10*3/8 = 30/8. 30/8 is converted into 3 & 6/8.
The baker will need 3 & 3/4 cups of sugar.
